Yes, I was wondering about that.

Do you know, off the top of your head, how many government-owned buildings are in the process of moving toward that construction date in the next year or two?

I know there are many, but I was wondering if you knew a specific number or a percentage.

Because of its potential for indigestion, we're probably not going to review what happened with the Justice building--enough said. Anyway, I think that's good.

If there are no further questions, we can allow the witnesses to withdraw. Thank you, Mr. Latreille, Ms. Burack, and Ms. Jen, for attending today.

Colleagues, before we go, I want to indicate that our next meeting will be focused on the estimates of the Public Service Commission. Strangely, they come under the Canadian Heritage spending envelope. But anyway, Madam Barrados from the Public Service Commission will be here.

The meeting following that--I've had some informal discussions with some members--is probably going to end up being a planning meeting immediately prior to the first meeting back on Tuesday, April 21, which is on the government's economic action plan and the stimulus package.

Next Thursday's meeting will be a planning meeting. Part of it could be in camera with some government officials to help us plan the following meeting on the government stimulus package. The staff will be working on that.

If that's okay, we are adjourned. Thank you.
