Thank you for the question.

We have a management plan for asbestos. As you know, East Block was being renovated, and the asbestos we found there has been removed. Asbestos and all other hazardous products are currently controlled. We have management plans for asbestos and other hazardous products.

Asbestos is not currently a danger. It is encapsulated and controlled. Instead, we are talking about other products. The issue in Centre Block is much less serious than in West Block.
