At the current time, Public Works and Government Services Canada is the custodian of the building. The two houses of Parliament will express their needs to Public Works, but then Public Works has to try to negotiate the funding. Parliament is not involved in those discussions. There are often conflicting priorities, as we mentioned, between Parliament and the government, and there are too many sort of intermediary steps.
Under government policy, if there are special usage or special purpose buildings, they generally will belong with the agency or department that is using those buildings, and clearly, the Parliament buildings, I think we can all agree, are special purpose, so Parliament needs to be much more involved, responsible, and accountable for the rehabilitation of the Parliament buildings and their ongoing maintenance.
