Thank you.
Thank you, Madam Fraser and Monsieur Ricard.
Could I ask you, please, through the chair, to undertake to provide that audit of the official residences to the committee? I think that would be well received. We can factor that into our considerations.
Madam Fraser, you made a suggestion as well, which I think is a very good one, that this committee see what Public Works is doing and actually go take a look. I sat on the board of governors of the University of Western Ontario in London, and certainly the notion of building and renovating buildings was a very important part of our role. I can tell you that when you see some of the things first-hand, it increases your understanding.
For us, I think, particularly as you're making some suggestions about what Parliament's role might be, the notion of having a sense of exactly what they do.... I think Pat Martin might be the only one who has really hands-on construction experience, although Mr. Lemay, I think, looks pretty handy. I am not.
So the notion of being able to see what they do I think would be useful for all of us, and I hope that we would as a committee imagine that we could do that.
I'm wondering--
