When you sought this opinion, they cited other cases, such as the Greater Toronto Airports Authority v. Air Canada, the 1999 case, and stated:
Therefore, unless and until TB approval is obtained and the TC contract is amended, the amounts contemplated under the agreement in principle cannot be paid as there is no legally binding and enforceable agreement....
That's their opinion. Did you feel that this opinion was contravening the Financial Administration Act, section 37.1? And you're a lawyer.
