Thank you for the question.
I should note that I can't speak on behalf of the National Capital Commission. They have the responsibility for the whole portfolio of official residences. They have commenced work on the abatement that is necessary. This work is necessary under any future scenario for the property dealing with hazardous situations, asbestos abatement, etc. That work does need to be done. It's being done by the NCC, under their direction. They have a capital fund for the maintenance of all official residences. It will be done in that regard.
With respect to future decisions, there are some implications that obviously go outside of the National Capital Commission. The Official Residences Act is an act of Parliament, so there is a legislative dimension. If that were ever to change, there would be funding that.... A major project at 24 Sussex would be beyond the approved budgets of the National Capital Commission, so there would need to be a funding source.
There are indeed some elements that go beyond the role of the NCC—you had mentioned another one, the heritage responsibility—but the NCC is the custodian, the responsible organization and the owner of the property.
