You made reference to the role I played between 1999 and 2003. I believe it is important to mention a number of dates connected with the decision of the Economic Development Agency of Canada not to move to Place Bonaventure. You must remember that our lease ended on March 31, 2003 and that all discussions with Public Works Canada with respect to preparing the process had begun more than a year and a half earlier, starting in December of 2000.
I know that as part of the testimony received thus far, a number of questions were put to the person who succeeded me, Ms. Michelle d'Auray. I reread those statements, and I must say I was very comfortable with what had been said. Indeed, it covered all the facts that I was aware of at the time.
So, I really don't have any other comments to make for the time being; I will simply try to answer your questions. They could be questions that were not asked of the person who replaced me or questions for which she was unable to provide a complete answer.
