Thank you.
You said that decisions were made on the project. No government agency, other than Treasury Board, has the authority to make a decision on a project of this scope. The city was made aware on the day of the announcement, in its memorandum of understanding, that the decision on the project would be made by a cabinet committee, the Treasury Board. I did not choose to get involved. This issue was brought before me in that context. We're not a rubber-stamp agency. That's how we had the sponsorship scandal. When money went astray and everything ran amok at the bureaucratic and political levels, we promised to be aware of accountability and we delivered it.
