By way of example, Jan De Silva, the board's president, and I had an extensive conversation with Julie Di Lorenzo, who was the other witness scheduled to be here, to hear her concerns. We spoke to at least one other individual close to...a board member who had been concerned about those things. We've made an active effort to try to seek out the opposition on this. We haven't spoken to Mr. Balsillie yet, but I've spoken to a few representatives of CCI, which he's very active in.
One thing I want to flag as well, as a veteran of two governments, is that it's a legitimate question to ask whether we, as Canadians, are giving Canadian firms a competitive shot in RFPs. Are we doing what people used to do with Big Blue in the 1970s, where you just always go with the safest party, and the safest party happens to be a large American firm in these cases?
I think there's a difference between asking those questions—and we've certainly talked to city hall in the last few weeks to ask those questions internally—and talking about preferential treatment for Canadian firms, which raises trade risks, or chucking out a firm in the middle of an agreement just because it isn't Canadian, which is the stated objective of some of Sidewalk's most vocal critics. We're saying, look, we can both grow here, and let's watch the margins to make sure that mistakes aren't made.
