Mr. Chair, what I would say with respect to this is that often these projects take some time to plan and develop. Shovel-ready LEED platinum projects are not sort of on a shelf, and therefore it may not be as easy as one might think to do that kind of thing in a highly accelerated way. I feel quite uncomfortable speculating about what could or could not be done. It would involve a lot more.... I don't know what the capacity is to absorb that type of activity. My span of control is quite limited relative to what would be required to deliver the kind of program you're referring to.
