The redevelopment of block two, directly across from the Peace Tower, is going to be a really important step for the parliamentary precinct. It finishes off the parliamentary square, if you will, but it will also really help us to empty, for the House of Commons, the Confederation Building, which is critically important as it houses a great number of members of Parliament. It's also critically important for the Senate. It will allow us to empty East Block, so we can fully restore and modernize those two really important buildings.
Once Confederation and East Block are finished, we'll then be able to start to reconsolidate the parliamentary precinct into an integrated campus. Mr. Patrice mentioned key elements, such as tunnel connections, to create an integrated campus for the secure and efficient movement of accredited people, as well as material and goods between the facilities. The vision here is an integrated campus of the Hill and the three city blocks facing it.
We are in the second stage of an international design competition. The final submissions are going to be received in early March. The independent jury, which includes three parliamentarians, will come back together to render a decision on the winning concept. Then that project will really launch.
