Based on the information that's publicly available, there was some interest during the first phase, but at the end of the day, as we all know, only one consortium responded to the call for proposals. To me, that raises questions about how the bid was structured from the beginning. Maybe more could have been done to ensure Canadian content, Canadian interest. At the very least, we need to show that everything possible was done to secure Canadian content and that, ultimately, this was the only feasible solution under those circumstances.
Right now, there is no transparent and public way to verify that conclusion.
