Thanks, Chair.
Thanks to our witnesses for coming.
This is an exciting project, and something that we've been wanting an update on for some time. It is fascinating to us as well as to most Canadians.
I come from a bit of a construction background, and the project that every contractor fears is a renovation, especially one of a historical building. This is the mother of all renovation projects, and obviously there are unexpected encounters when you tear into a building like this. You will maybe speak a bit to those unexpected encounters. You've already told us that you're still on time. That's a remarkable achievement to run into those things but maintain the timelines that you have.
In addition to that, I'd like you to speak to the importance of maintaining the historical integrity of the buildings. Obviously there's some incredible architectural detailing that has been maintained and renewed. It's an interesting dynamic. The project that's being undertaken obviously has to maintain that historical integrity, but you also have the opportunity to use new materials and take advantage of new energy efficiencies and different things like that.
I'm wondering how you've been able to incorporate all of those priorities into this project. Could you tell us a little more about those things?
