MR. McDONALD: Like Clare, I reached out to<br />

my industry partners, specifically the real estate<br />

entity that services our company that does have a<br />

back to me was be more specific. Be more specific<br />

country-wise or at least regionally for us, because<br />

quite honestly real estate processes are well<br />

established, longstanding, as you alluded to, and<br />

not a fast industry to change, just because <strong>of</strong> the<br />

that may have. I think Steve summed it up with his<br />

revelation that I was able to come up with to help<br />
