I'm telling you what we did. I read this file being totally neutral, because I didn't remember anything, and I still don't about this file. When I read this file, it's obvious that one of the civil servants had some kind of trouble answering questions that were being asked. I guess he got emotional about the file. That's my perception. In sitting at his desk, maybe he was right, because it implied more work. He had to do more checking to give the answers to his assistant deputy minister Mrs. Beal, who then came back to us with answers when she had them.
Normally, as I said in the first part of my testimony, every time we intervened Mrs. Beal would come back to us with an answer at the next meeting. The answers weren't by e-mail or anything like that. I don't think you'll find many e-mails. I don't believe I wrote any e-mails on files being managed by the civil servants or the officers of the Department of Public Works. That's not the way it works. We ask questions and we get the answers. Fine. But we never stopped any process. We never told anyone to stop anything. We just wanted to know probably if the minister's office wanted to move or not.
