I agree, especially with the new corporation, that perhaps the specific requirements that were being asked for may not have been applicable. On the other hand, there were other measures or other kinds of indicators that perhaps could have been obtained. This corporation was also associated with a very large insurance company to deliver. Well, could there have been a guarantee? Could there have been bank guarantees given?
There are other ways I think to ensure financial stability before you contract with a corporation that's going to have a flow-through over the period of the contract of over $2 billion. I think Canadians expect that you would ensure that the corporation is financially sound. We would have expected to see some demonstration in the file as to how the department assured itself that it had met this requirement for financial stability, and that wasn't there.
