Yes, I'm sorry, just one more time here, briefly: We did have the officials at committee, and they did not answer our questions around some of these things. That's what the impetus for this motion was in the first place, because we did have officials at committee testifying to this. Based on the feedback they gave and then based on the testimony we received from Mastercard, there was still a void there.
We have now asked for the production of documentation because of that. Had officials been more direct in answering questions, then maybe we wouldn't have to do this, but they weren't, so now we need to ask for the production of documents, and yes, any time the government wastes $50 million on a project that was going to be built regardless.... There was no threat of relocating or cancelling the project, but maybe there was and Mastercard denied telling us that.
That's why we want to see these documents and, even if they did, then it would be great to bring this to the House of Commons and talk about that, but the officials came to committee. They weren't clear. Mastercard did not have a great showing either, so now we need to have this production of documents. Of course we should report to the House our concern over the government's handling of 50 million dollars' worth of taxpayer money.
