You already had the contract. The contract had been awarded to you six months before and a letter had been sent by Mr. Atyeo to the public accounts committee emphasizing the fact that the process seemed unfair to him at the very least. He outlines several facts. Between the moment when that letter was tabled and the moment when it was discussed for the first time at the committee in April 2005, close to six and a half months elapsed, since this resolution was passed in November 2005.
In the meantime, you hired lobbyists to understand what was going on, but they made representations to MPs. I have trouble understanding: if the mandate was not to delay things, that is nevertheless what happened, since it took six months before the motion was passed and referred to the Auditor General.
What do you think of that?
