Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Welcome, Ms. Santiago and Mr. Sprecher.

I would like to ask you a few questions about the Communications Security Establishment.

In main estimates 2014-15, the Communications Security Establishment is requesting $796 million in vote 1 for the program's expenditures. That is an increase of $408 million compared to main estimates 2013-14. According to them, this change is primarily because of the $300 million anticipated for a new building, as well as an increase of $100 million in contract payments for 2014-15.

Here is my first question. Of the $100 million for contracts, how much will be used for the maintenance of the building?
