Thank you.
Mr. Arès, who you've quoted a number of times, said this--and by the way, these are words after he states in his e-mail that he met with you:
This unwarranted delay could threaten our schedule for this project and work to the government's disadvantage, in that we could be forced to negotiate directly and at a disadvantage with Place Victoria.
Could you tell us exactly why you would have told the staff of Public Works and Government Services to put a hold on this project?
