Good.

Looking at what happened on the north tower, we saw LM Sauvé win the bid over other firms that seemed to be much more qualified, only to go bankrupt. I assume they would have posted a performance bond to protect the government's interest. That's the normal practice, I understand, for Public Works contracts.

But would you agree that the work on the north tower was mismanaged? And do you know if the performance bond was called in when LM Sauvé ran into its financial difficulties?
