Thank you, Madam Chair.
Mr. Minister, if I could, I would just like to clarify what I think is a misunderstanding by Mr. Holland.
It was my understanding that when Mr. Turner, his predecessor on this committee, was here and requested information, it was prior to the closing of the deal. It was information that would obviously conflict with the confidential terms of the RFP. I can recall both you and professional witnesses stating here that obviously the information couldn't be released at the time because it would have put the government in serious jeopardy and conflict.
Now, of course, we have a deal that has been consummated, and information has been requested by this committee. Could you tell us just how long ago your department or your ministry received a request for specific information regarding this file?
