Mr. Chair, when we're asking people for information from Public Works and trying to find the total cost of matters, and so on, I think we should find out what the cost of relocating the other officials into the Bonaventure facility was, and whether any unproductive rents resulted from that change. That's just as relevant to taxpayers' dollars--it works on both sides of the fence.
In conclusion, Mr. Drouin, I have a lot of difficulty with what's been said before the committee. I have two public servants, one in writing.... Mr. Arès, at the time, said the deputy minister did not want to move. We had that official before our committee under oath, and he made it clear he did not agree with that decision. In fact, my interpretation is that he was so angry that he actually went and talked to you and told you it was a mistake.
Now what you're saying flies totally in the face of not only what Mr. Gladu has said; it flies in the face of documents at the time that were written by Mr. Arès. I think it almost closes the door on this issue, quite honestly. It's not very convincing testimony. That's my conclusion. You can respond to it, but I think it's pretty open and shut.
