Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you for being with us, Mr. Guay.
I know you are a businessman, and that is fine. However, we do not understand how the government went about things in this case.
Your land is indeed well situated in relation to the Saint-Bernard‑de‑Lacolle border crossing, but it would have been possible to go elsewhere. Initially, that might not have been possible, but today, when the contracts are being renewed for 10 years at the cost of tens of millions of dollars, it raises questions.
One might think you have won the lottery. You may not have asked for it, but you won it. Now, we have to ask whether there was impropriety. We cannot obtain precise information about the costs from the officials.
You say you were contacted by officials or other people. Who negotiated with you at the start? Are you still dealing with the same people or have they changed since then?
