Because of the LTVP premise of preserving the heritage for generations to come, we did not cost certain options, like levelling the buildings on the Hill and reconstructing new ones. We went to great lengths to preserve as much as we could of that heritage, including numbering the cement blocks on the West Block and reinstalling them exactly where they went. All these options have received approval from the National Capital Commission and from the federal heritage buildings review office.
