Procedure and House Affairs committee  The current requirements that we use for MP offices were established in the late 1990s. They were approved at the Board of Internal Economy. That has been a standard we've applied in every new renovation to date—the 90 square metres.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  When it comes to members, those requirements were established in “Building the Future” and approved at the board level. How many units—MP units, they're called—are allocated to an MP, a minister, a leader of the party, etc., were established as a baseline. That's what we have tr

Procedure and House Affairs committee  I believe so, but I couldn't speak for them. I'm sorry.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  On this project, the Senate has a parallel team to the House of Commons. They use their governance process for their approvals.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  We work in partnership, but we don't provide services to them. I'm assuming you're asking how we are, at some point, going to settle on who has what space within the building. That will have to go through a joint governance process.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Over the next six months, aside from the parliamentary consultations, we will be meeting with all the service providers to Parliament, whether it be House of Commons internal service providers or the press gallery, as an example, gathering their very detailed requirements.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  No, sir. We're very early in the project. We're still, as we say, gathering what the requirements are. At some point we'll have a good idea of what those requirements are and then we'll need to balance that with all the various priorities of heritage, life safety, and come up wi
