No, the reconfirmation was unusual and not something that I had ever heard of before. And it's clearly not defined in the RFP. In fact, that was one of the bases of our first CITT complaint.
Now, I don't know what a reconfirmation is and I don't know exactly what was done, but I was in a meeting with Mr. Chenier and he told me personally that they were doing a reconfirmation because the results were close. That's all I know about it.
In terms of the transparency, I must admit I was very surprised, given all of the concerns in the last few years about transparency. The access to information request is over a year old now; it's probably been 14 months since we put in the first one. We did get the evaluation documents a few weeks ago, but they are still only about 20% of the documents we asked for.
The reasons some were withheld included the economic interests of Canada, though it's hard to understand how those apply in this case. We went to the Information Commissioner, and the Information Commissioner agreed, yes, it was in the economic interests of Canada to withhold those documents. I can't understand it, but that's what happened.
