Mr. Chair, thank you for the question.
It really does depend on the details. In our case, the minister is empowered, through the National Defence Act and the Federal Real Property and Federal Immovables Act, to hold real property for the purposes of the Defence mandate. There are constraints that pop up as a result of that on potential public-private partnerships, but even so, the details matter, so there are some flexibilities there.
We're focusing our energy on working with partners like Canada Lands Company and potentially with Public Services and Procurement Canada, which have commercial authorities that would allow them to more easily enter into those sorts of arrangements on our behalf. I would say there are possibilities. We are actively looking at them. I certainly hope we're not back here next year having the same conversation.
