In the long term, would it not be better for the government to build a building that would remain government property? That way there would be no lease to pay, as in the case of JDS Uniphase. We know what that will cost in the years to come, if the agreement is signed. The amounts are astronomical. Why not buy? You can adopt the tighter space allowance policy you want, lease fewer square metres, or have less occupied space, and at the end of the day, you come out ahead. Buying would become a basic element. You could decide to buy to meet your requirements, because the space is available.
You said that 80% of the leased space on the Quebec side was occupied. So that leaves 20%. Earlier, you mentioned that the ratio is 25% to 75%. On the Quebec side of the river, the ratio is between 19% and 23%. Why didn't the government choose to build?
