The process went well until we gave the contract to Place Bonaventure. Everything was done according to our procedures and policies. Furthermore, we had called on Consulting and Audit Canada to ensure the integrity of the process. Everything had been done according to the rules. However - and that is a situation I did not control - in the days following the signing of the lease for Place Bonaventure, we were informed that Canada Economic Development would remain at Place Victoria.
