The Auditor General and the people in her office gave us instructions about the estimates that were calculated for the request for proposal. I was not there at the time. As a former auditor, I checked how the figures had been obtained.
From what I understand, the RCMP provided three figures to the interdepartmental working group, which were percentages pertaining to relocations. In 60% of cases, relocation involved buying a house at the location of the new posting; in 10% of cases, it was relocation to government housing, and in 30% of cases, it was rental accommodation. That is all that was provided. There was no way of making a connection between what was provided and the request for proposals.
