Correct. Yes, it is only a recommendation to the House, but it comes with the imprimatur of a standing committee of Parliament, the majority of whose members....
Now, as I said, we are still in negotiation. We're still receiving bids on nine government buildings. Words matter, votes matter, motions matter. They do have consequences. This is a minority Parliament. Polls go up, polls go down. We have a budget vote tonight. Who knows how long Parliament sits? Who knows who's going to win the next election? These things change dramatically.
It is I think inconceivable to successfully argue that having a vote of a standing committee of Parliament to say that this is not in the best interests of Parliament, that we should cease.... You really don't think that will have a chilling effect on the quality of bids that will come to government for these nine buildings? Of course it will.
The idea that the majority of this committee would suggest we're going to cease this, that it's a bad idea, that we're going to stop doing this because we don't have enough information at the very moment when we're receiving bids...you don't think that's going to have a chilling consequence? I think that's a huge mistake.
