When a new minister is appointed to head up a department, do you not have to accept requests? Surely there were specifications that were set out by the ministers that preceded you, at the time of the call for tenders. When the people at Public Works Canada called for tenders, they must certainly have consulted the Economic Development Agency in order to establish the specifications.
In your opinion, why did they not specify, for example, that they did not want offices in an area where there was train traffic, or that they did want offices with windows? You got involved after the closing date, even after the bidder was chosen and the contract signed. Why did you wait so long to take action?
