That's a great question. Thank you.
Federal government policy allows for custodian organizations, when they sell a property, to ask the government for access to the proceeds of sale for the reinvestment in their remaining inventory.
From December 1, 2010 through to March 31, 2011, the department had 68 transactions disposing of surplus properties and holdings across the country. That resulted in $3.4 million net revenue being deposited in the consolidated revenue fund. Consistent with federal government policy, we have asked for access to that money from selling our assets to take those funds and reinvest them in our real property holdings.
