Procedure and House Affairs committee  As Public Services and Procurement Canada, we don't directly interface with parliamentarians. It's the administration of the House that leads that engagement with parliamentarians, of course with the Senate. We come as requested to parliamentary committees.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  On requirements and on major plans, absolutely. To date, and I know things are perhaps shifting a little now, those presentations and endorsements would have been through the Board of Internal Economy, of course, which the Speaker chairs.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Certainly, and part of the National Capital Commission's review was to really make sure that there was going to be enough soil over the visitor welcome centre to support the replanting of large trees in that area. So yes, part of that plan is to, if you will, reforest that area o

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Yes, if you get an idea from phase one, it's an underground facility and we have the ability to landscape over top of the facility.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Most of the size comes from in front of Centre Block not from.... It would be symmetrical in size, the eastern portion to the western portion. Most of the size is really about the visitor welcome centre. If you've been—and I'm sure most of you have—to the Capitol building in Wash

Procedure and House Affairs committee  As you might note on the western side, there's a plaza and an entry point that acts as a node for Centre Block and West Block. So in the vision, we would be creating that same symmetrical node on the eastern side with the connection point between Centre Block and East Block.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Absolutely.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Absolutely, and as I said, we're going through essentially a reboot of the long-term vision and plan, so that is one element that will be updated as well. The master landscape plan dates to 2012, I think, to inform many of the projects such as West Block and others. It is one of

Procedure and House Affairs committee  That is the most up-to-date plan at this point.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  That is the existing framework, and that is the plan that is being updated. There's a trio of documents that create that long-term vision and plan and the implementation framework that goes along with it. We've completed phase one of the update, and now we're in phase two. We'd b

Procedure and House Affairs committee  As you can see, that's almost a line drawing at that time from a conceptual perspective. What has evolved is the design development around phase one of the visitor welcome centre, which has recently opened, which also, in a positive way, forced thinking about the broader visitor

Procedure and House Affairs committee  The 5,000 is the current one, it's phase one.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  That would be up to 30,000. That is grosso modo where we are looking. Again, that's not final at this point, but this is driven by requirements that we're working to put in place.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  At this point they would be within the precinct generally. We've taken essentially a principle to not replant trees multiple times. The escarpment is the focus of replanting at this point, especially along the pathway at the bottom, because we know that there will be no impact ov

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Absolutely. We would want to work hand in hand with Parliament on what is appropriate. We've already engaged with the dominion sculptor to commemorate the tree, and that could come from some carvings that would be put in Centre Block. It could be in other parliamentary buildings
