I know there have been a lot of varying numbers thrown around and various justifications used to explain away this very unusual course of events.
There are two things we must keep in mind. One, Place Bonaventure finished first and Place Victoria finished fourth in a competitive bid. Two, the Auditor General says that the way this transaction was carried out led to the waste of $4.6 million. Those are the two hard facts that have led us to where we are today.
So I open with some questions for you, Mr. Polachek. Can you please provide the committee with a list of all corporations, partnerships, or individuals who held an ownership position in 800 Place Victoria between January 2001 and August 2004?
