I believe that we gave the example of the renovations and temporary space that was to be built or modified while the Parliament buildings were being emptied. Parliamentary partners wanted all of the activities to be held on Parliament Hill, to the extent possible, although other space was available on the other side of Wellington Street. There were, for example, some differences of opinion regarding the amount of time required, the number of members who were to be located outside of the parliamentary precinct, the acceptability of the costs, the investment that was to be made, the question as to whether or not buildings were to be renovated or the matter of whether people would be located there for only a few years or a longer amount of time. There were many hurdles to overcome. In order to meet Parliament's requirements, Public Works had to grapple with the constraints of government policies and rules, which led to a certain amount of tension.
