As said, the information provided on July 25 was very much a more fulsome business case and a more fulsome explanation that was put together by the leads to provide a detailed chronology. I appreciate being here to clarify the words that I drafted because, of course, taken out of context, any snapshot moment in time can be misconstrued and viewed as something else. I am here today to correct, as the author of the statement, what was intended.
What I intended in drafting that statement was simply to convey that the head of mission was aware and had not raised any concerns or objections to the department's plan to proceed with the purchase. There was certainly additional information—in response to the previous member's question—that was brought to our office and was gathered by the property leads between June 17 and July 25. That's why they were asked to gather additional information.
It would be inaccurate to say that the information provided on July 25 came out of nowhere. That would be inaccurate and is not the truth.
