Mr. Chair, as I mentioned in my opening remarks, a mistake was made. The department proactively provided that clarification to the committee, anticipating that there could be concern, fully cognizant of how language, taken out of context, could be misinterpreted. That's why I'm here today, to convey and to clarify the context within which that first email was drafted and to clearly state that there was no request by anyone to ask me to make a correction.
The information that was provided on July 25 was pulled together through a process of the property team going through and clearly putting a more detailed explanation together, and that explanation was provided to the minister's office on July 25.
