In these kinds of situations, it's never easy to follow all the evidence. I can say, though, that, at the time, JCCBI indicated that it was necessary to begin planning the construction of a new bridge so that it would be operational by 2021. JCCBI stated that it was necessary to begin the planning for a new bridge but did not clearly describe the deteriorating condition of the bridge. Given the communications between JCCBI and the department, it was somewhat difficult to grasp just how urgent the situation was.
As I already said, the only thing we noted in all of those communications was the crown corporation's assertion that the new bridge should be operational by 2021. It was just prior to the partnership agreement being signed that JCCBI indicated the need to accelerate the construction schedule so that the new bridge would be done by 2018.
