Yes.
I was not a party to the discussions on this project involving the Office of the Auditor General and the department. If possible, I would like to gather more information on the key questions that the OAG raises in points 1.74 or 1.75.
Nevertheless, I can tell you that the expected cost of construction was $25.3 million. The final cost of construction was $24.9 million. The project's budget covered all construction costs.
Did the budget provide for additional security expenses? If possible, I would like to provide you with that information at a later date.
