Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
There is something I don't understand in your presentation, Mr. Hawkes. You say, among other things: “The increased volume in this part of the request refers to changes in the office space inventory to accommodate the current population of federal public servants. This would include increased rental rates for leases being renewed [...]”
I don't see the connection between the increase in the number of offices and the increase in rental rates. Perhaps the translation isn't good. You can't say that the increase in the number of offices is due to an increase in rental rates. That's impossible.
