Mr. Chair, as far as the above-ground complex in North Bay goes, the original design was conceived in the late 1990s and the tendering process went on in the 2002 and beyond timeframe. For the initial construction activity that took place, there was an original threat risk assessment done relating to that facility, and it was determined at that time that a security requirements checklist was not required to initiate the construction of the building. During the construction of the building, as is normal, a security review was conducted, and it was determined that additional security would be required, as the building envelope had been constructed, and as we were getting ready to do the fit-up of equipment, which would cause the building to go from an unclassified, no-clearance-required nature to a classified, clearance-required nature. At that time, when the security requirement became evident during the construction, and prior to installing the systems, contractors with security clearances were required to be on site or workers on site were required to be under escort.
