You wrote in a memo to Minister Gagliano on July 1, 2001, that “We have nothing to justify submitting to you a request for approval to negotiate directly with the owner of 800 Place Victoria.”
In a memo to Minister Goodale, seeking approval for a lease with Place Victoria, in reference to Place Bonaventure, you wrote the following: “That strategy was the most cost-effective for the government.”
Given this, how could you possibly have recommended signing a lease with Place Victoria when, in two separate memos, on two separate occasions, you said that Place Bonaventure was a more cost-effective option for the government?
