Oh, it's what makes us want to.
Well, in this particular instance, what was quite interesting in terms of the competition was, first of all, the topic itself. It's a very serious topic, the Canadian mission in Afghanistan, and to us that was a very interesting topic.
Second of all, it's an important public commission. It's more than $3 million, let's say, for the the artwork.
There is also the location. It's an exceptional location, on Parliament Hill between Parliament and the War Museum. All of these elements were really interesting to us, so this is why we decided to participate. The topic was so important that we, as a team, because that was the interest of this competition.... It's a multi-disciplinary team that had to participate, meaning architects, landscape architects and the artist, Luca.
Also, because the topic is so sensitive, we connected with Madame Arbour, because of course she understands the mission and so on. Whenever we do a competition, we always want to make sure that we understand the history or the significance. These are civic gestures and they're important gestures, and they will last for a lot of years to come, so we take this very seriously.
The site is exceptional, so we do think as a team that we have a civic duty associated to that, and this is why we were so interested in participating in that competition.
