Thank you.
I'm sorry, Alain, you're well over time.
Perhaps I could add one thing, though, in between the speakers. It was not only Sheila Fraser, the previous Auditor General, but the previous Auditor General before her, Denis Desautels, and the Speaker of the House of Commons and the Speaker of the Senate, who have all said there are too many cooks in the kitchen. We're spoiling the soup because everybody is tampering with it. That's why everything takes so long and costs so much to do on Parliament Hill.
I think that's the question Alain was getting at, not criticizing Public Works for doing what they can within the parameters of the existing system, but having Public Works, Heritage, the National Capital Commission, everybody and their grandmother, involved in a simple renovation takes ten times as long and costs ten times as much.
I assume that's what my colleague was getting at. That's simply an editorial comment.
Jean-François Larose.
