Obviously, I said the timing was excellent. I'm not the only one who said this; the Ottawa Citizen said it, the Globe and Mail said it, and everybody who looked at this objectively said it. I'm proud of that.
Obviously I couldn't predict the liquidity crisis. When we considered this transaction, the real estate market was vibrant and dynamic. I've been around these markets before; they don't always stay that way for a very long period of time, and they had been that way for several years already, so I was keen on doing the homework, but also on going to the market as soon as everybody agreed it was something we should be doing--i.e., testing this in an auction. I wanted to go to the market as soon as possible and circle a price with a vendor.
Obviously the liquidity crisis arrived when it arrived, and it arrived a few weeks after we actually signed a memorandum of understanding with Larco.
Don't take my word for it; you can ask experts in this field: if we had run the auction only a month or two months later, we would not have had the proceeds, or at least considered the proceeds, that are on the table right now. That's for sure.
