Thank you very much.
We certainly appreciate your being here today. This is a very important topic.
I was speaking with a constituent today. I think this is where Ron was going. As I was speaking with Joe, my constituent, we were talking about the fact that I was coming to committee today and talking about this important issue and how long the renovations have been going on at Parliament Hill and how much they cost. I noted that and I mentioned it to him, and Joe came back with a point that I'm going to raise now.
We were talking about how you talked about the increasing project costs and the risks involved, and Joe's point as a Canadian and as a taxpayer was, “My goodness, why can't we get this right?” I mean, this has been going on a tremendously long time and costing us a tremendous amount of money. Can you elaborate, perhaps, on the costs and the risks you see?
