Thank you. I hope you can proceed expeditiously and that the funding will be in place, because if you're going out to request RFIs and you're having groups that put together this information, if their funding isn't available that would be a bit of a problem, I think you'd agree.
I'd like to move on to the sale and leaseback. If you look at the private sector, a sale and leaseback might be considered a last resort. It's like factoring. We get the capital up front, but downstream, in terms of the overall economics, it's not always a preferred option. It's a last resort.
In the case of these office buildings, I can see the opportunities to improve efficiencies. I can see opportunities to get funding to modernize, renovate, and keep these buildings up to speed, but I'm worried about the downstream when the leases come up for renewal. Presumably there is an option to buy. I'm worried about monopolistic pricing. You might say there are a lot of office buildings around, but once the leaseholds are in and commitments are made, your wiggle room is diminished somewhat.
I'm wondering if you could comment on that and if you've ever looked at models like the one I'm familiar with in British Columbia, where there's a crown corporation, B.C. Buildings Corporation, which is committed to highest and best use of properties, which is committed to market rents or market-based rents, and it seems to work very well. Did you look at a model like that?
