I will take on board the Senator's recommendations regarding investigating the system of conservation methods used in order to facilitate the retention of the buildings she mentioned in the Netherlands. As I said earlier, I am aware of some cities in the UK that have also in recent times come up with a mechanism that retains those kinds of buildings, their facades especially. Perhaps that is a mirror version of what takes place in the Netherlands. I do not know. I thank the Senator for her contribution and note it and will seek to investigate the matter further.
