You’ve raised a whole other issue here. The question is whether we should keep the restaurant open for the use of parliamentarians, as is now the case, or open it up to the general public and change its mission, in order to make operations cost effective. Access to the facility is a problem for the simple reason that the restaurant is located on the 6th floor. People must use the elevators, which provide access to all of the other floors. Over the years, a number of studies have been done on the restaurant, but never have they returned a finding that it would be a good idea to turn this facility into a commercial venture. Of course, we can always reconsider this whole issue.
