Is it possible to have the value of your contracts from 2000 to 2010? It's not necessary to give us all the details. Is it possible to file with the committee the contracts you've won from the federal government since 2000?

Vice-President, Montreal, Broccolini Construction Inc.
For the building at 22 Eddy Street, the lease is $11.7 million a year for 25 years. For the building at 455 boulevard de la Carrière, our lease with the government is $8.530 million a year for 25 years.

Before the Conservative government came to power, did you win any contracts from the federal government?

You've never won a contract with the federal government in previous years?

So it's simply the last two contracts that you won in 2010?

Vice-President, Montreal, Broccolini Construction Inc.
That was in 2007, 2008 and 2009.

Consequently, you started winning contracts from the federal government in 2007 and 2008, didn't you?

Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Broccolini, I appreciate your testimony. I'd like to follow up on what my honourable colleague was endeavouring to do. While I should not presuppose that I know what she was endeavouring to find out, my understanding is that you currently have two projects under way with the federal government, which you'll be working as a leaseback; you're building them currently and you'll be leasing them back to the federal government. Is that correct?
10:35 a.m.
Vice-President, Montreal, Broccolini Construction Inc.
We have two contracts with Public Works to deliver two buildings, yes.

Chris Warkentin Conservative Peace River, AB
Okay.
Obviously, the member opposite often talks about the necessity to bring more government buildings to Gatineau or to the Quebec side, and so I know that she'll congratulate the government for working with you on this project.
Can you give the scope of those two projects?
10:35 a.m.
Vice-President, Montreal, Broccolini Construction Inc.
What do you mean by “scope”?
10:35 a.m.
Vice-President, Montreal, Broccolini Construction Inc.
They total approximately one million square feet.
10:35 a.m.
Vice-President, Montreal, Broccolini Construction Inc.
It's a lease number. I just repeated it to Madame Bourgeois: $11.7 million per year for 22 Eddy for a 25-year lease, and $8.53 million for 455 de la Carrière for a 25-year lease.

Okay.
Can you give us an approximate number of people who will be employed during the construction of these projects?
10:40 a.m.
Vice-President, Montreal, Broccolini Construction Inc.
I'd say several hundred.

Do you have any sense as to the number of offices that will be located in each of these two independent towers? The reason I ask this is that it will give us some kind of idea as to how many people will be permanently employed in these buildings.
