We have a very sound information base, and we can provide you with detailed information. But I would say in general that Professor McKellar is right. I think in the public sector--and this isn't just in the federal government; it applies to other governments as well--it is difficult to compete with other public objectives for funding to repair bricks and mortar. So I think we, as do other governments, have a problem in that regard. The state of our buildings is therefore not as good as it would be in the private sector. We have an outstanding repair bill, as I think was explained to this committee at a previous hearing.
