Mr. Robert Watt:

We have an interest in anything that involves public money. We have 150 people who work in the different Vote sections in the Department. There is a Vote section that looks after the OPW and the enterprise Vote. The officers responsible for that Vote would be raising questions on the lease and whether the vacant space could be used for other purposes and would have conversations with other sections looking for space.
