My understanding is that the Minister of Finance did not insist and did not even propose a simpler call for tenders.
Mr. Minister, I will move on to another question because time is running out.
I have been told that the public service did its due diligence on WE. We have learned that it is not solvent, or if it is, it has a lot of debt. All sorts of things are coming out.
At the Department of Finance, did you do your due diligence? Before awarding a management contract worth close to $1 billion, did you try to find out who WE was?
