Again, Mr. Goodale, I appreciate the fact that you wanted to give me some information on Place Bonaventure, but I was asking you about the nature of the fairness of the process; the nature of the other two bidders that were paid no consideration on this; the optics of this with all of this disparity in communication with holds, etc.; and the fact that quite plainly, Mr. Gagliano, with five years experience in that position, said he had never seen anything like this.
So this wasn't common; to go through that process wasn't something that was regularly done, and we have the graphic here of the process. I have no idea of the millions of dollars it costs to have PWGSC actually walk through to make sure that a fair tender happens. But after the whole process happened, it was then shelved. That's the concern, and up until now it has not been addressed.
All that has happened is that opposition members have tried to mitigate the damages by saying the Auditor General was incorrect and in fact it was less. She stands by her words as early as 2007.
