Library of Parliament committee  It doesn't exist yet. We're still developing the concept, what goes in it, what points will be highlighted. While we understand Parliament, the creative side, the artistic side of it, that's where the National Film Board comes into play. I know they started to document and gathe

Library of Parliament committee  I believe we were closed for four years.

Library of Parliament committee  When it comes to the content of those virtual experiences, for sure the Senate will be included in there. It is part of this Parliament. It is absolutely part of that content. I hope the senators will be reassured about that. Our library always ensures that both chambers are reco

Library of Parliament committee  I think it's about $45 million or $46 million. It has been fluctuating with the departure of the PBO and adding new things for the virtual release. I don't have the number in my head, but we can always follow up with you if you want.

Library of Parliament committee  One of the things we've been doing over the past year or two is keeping the local tourist industry up to date on what we're doing. They are informed about the fact that we're going to be doing visits in the two new buildings. They are familiar with what's coming up. The big quest

Library of Parliament committee  It would be fair to say that there will be an increased pressure. If I take, for example, the visitor program, we currently do guided tours in one building.

Library of Parliament committee  Regarding virtual reality, we want to develop a Web platform to offer a similar visit to what is currently offered in Centre Block, which makes it possible to go to various places and explore.

Library of Parliament committee  We are still in the design phase; we are choosing what we will present through the different products. The deadline we have set for the Web platform is March 2019.
