I can't comment specifically on the federal building initiative, but what I can say is that the moneys that have been made available to Public Works to improve federal buildings certainly are there and are available to also make energy-efficient retrofits as required, as well as to increase accessibility to federal buildings for disabled Canadians. There's nothing, in other words, that prevents Public Works from going in that direction, if it so desires.
