Thank you for the question. I think it's a key question. The federal facilities are very important. As you know, I come from a provincial government, and it was something that impressed me when I arrived, to see that the federal government has very good research facilities.
We received $89.3 million in 2014. We got $90.7 million in 2016 for major repair and upgrading of our federal laboratories. We invested all across the country. In the Pacific NR facility, we invested in the replacement of the air-handling unit, the electric-controlled furnace, and the fuel oil system. We also invested in the prairie facility. We adjusted and modernized the heating, the induction terminal unit, the air-handling system, and the laboratory hood exhaust fans. We also invested in Ontario to address the aging stormwater system, to improve site access for safety, and to replace the exterior building material that was beyond its life cycle. We also invested in the eastern Canada facility's modernization. We replaced the roof, the lighting, and the electrical system.
All of this is to make sure that we are able to conduct science in the proper way and to make sure our scientists have the best conditions possible.
