Yes, that's right.
It was the city's position that under the memorandum of understanding that had been negotiated, the city met all of the conditions. Mr. Chartrand can go into more detail in terms of the negotiation of the contribution agreement and its framework.
Clearly we were dealing with three separate governments. The city council, which voted on this project in the summer of 2006, voted fourteen to seven to approve the project. That represented a duly constituted council and a valid decision of a sitting council. And in the city's opinion, it met the conditions of the contribution agreement of both the provincial and federal governments, because the council of the city approved the project and approved the framework. They then delegated authority to me to go and negotiate the final conditions and terms of the contribution agreement. So from the city's perspective and from the Municipal Act perspective, that represented a duly constituted council and a valid decision by council committing the city to that contribution agreement.
