As I was saying, when the deputy minister told me about the situation, and when he mentioned that the move would be hard on employees, and so on, I understood that I had to, without interfering, see whether it was possible or not to find a solution in accordance with the rules. I wanted everything to be transparent, so I wrote a letter to find out whether staying in the building was possible. Otherwise, we had to comply with what had been decided.
Sir, you said that a potential amount of $4.6 million was involved, but I would like to see the numbers because based on the information I received, after having calculated everything, and after taking into account the money saved and the reduced rent, it was more advantageous to stay put. However, I will not say any more on the subject, since I am not an expert, and this was the responsibility of Public Works and Government Services Canada, and it made the decision.
