Actually, I'm going to keep my amendment because it's stronger than the LIB‑20 amendment that was adopted.
Remember that section 41.1(1) begins as follows: “In developing a disposal strategy for a surplus federal real property or a federal immovable, every department and supporting federal institution shall take into account the needs”….
However, my amendment includes a requirement, so I feel it's more important. That's why I'm keeping it.
Mr. Housefather, yes, when you talk about leasing, that may be a flaw in my wording, but the fact that no properties are leased right now is no guarantee that it won't happen in the future.
Therefore, I stand by my amendment. I stand by it because it's important that organizations have access to federal properties.
