Yes, the exercise that paid for the move from 344 Slater to the new location at 30 Victoria Street can be considered an advance on parliamentary appropriations. We were given an advance on funding. Considering the space we have been able to save, it was negotiated with Public Works and Government Services Canada. Every time we negotiate office space, Public Works and Government Services Canada is the central agency that provides us with our office space and it receives the funds. When the commissioner asks for additional funds for office space for staff, 13% of every application for funding goes to Public Works and Government Services Canada to provide us with the space we need to carry out our mandate.
Since we have reduced our office space considerably, Public Works and Government Services Canada has returned $325,000 to us each year for the envelope for office space, and that money is being used to refinance our loan. It is not really a loan, but rather an advance on funding.
