Would you be able to get the committee, and me in particular, some information as to what is happening with phase II of the Archives development project? I know that there were plans for such a project; I met with Mr. Caron to discuss the issue. At the moment, the project is in abeyance. If it gets the green light, and we move on to phase II—which entails more than the warehouse that is being refitted— will this money be lost? Will the whole issue have to go back before Treasury Board, or has the money been set aside in a bank account in case phase II of the project becomes a necessity with the advent of digital archives?
