Thank you, Mr. Chair.
The main objective of this meeting was to look into the $8 million allocated to this barn in the broader context of the role the Governor General plays. A lot of public money goes into supporting this quite archaic function; that's the least you can say about it. To put it more bluntly, I'd even say it's a pointless function.
You can clearly see that there is a problem here if you consider this $8 million expenditure for a barn in a broader context.
Let's see what answer you have to give us because we haven't received a lot of information from you so far.
You mentioned a renovation plan approved by the Treasury Board. Is that correct?
