Thank you for the question.
I have to start with the premise that this transaction was not reviewed by Treasury Board, so I can't confirm what GAC did on this transaction. I know officials will be here tomorrow and they will be able to confirm that.
What I can say is that I understand that they undertook a financial analysis of the life-cycle cost, and I think that is something this committee may want to ask GAC officials about tomorrow. What might be helpful for this committee in talking with GAC officials is to understand what due diligence they undertook. We know they undertook an appraisal, and I understand they've undertaken a financial analysis. They should set out any additional due diligence.
I believe—and I'm reading the information they submitted to this committee—that in terms of the open aspect of the requirements they engaged a broker to look at a list of properties. From the submission to the committee, I understand they've undertaken some things, but I can't confirm that. That is something that GAC officials will have to confirm to this committee when they appear.
