I am trying to see who has the final word because the Auditor General seems to say that the Minister of Public Works has the power to impose his choice, which he did not do in this case. He let CED decide. Is it common practice for Public Works to call for tenders, to find appropriate space at a better price and, in the end, to decide that it doesn't matter and that CED can do what they want?
