Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Cory, in a statement on May 9, 2023, if I’m not mistaken, you said that due to the increase in costs, the Lake Erie connector project’s value was no longer satisfactory. At the time, we did not know it cost $1 million in consultation fees, or $900,000, more precisely.
I understand that for any large-scale project, it’s necessary to perform due diligence and the sums invested may be significant. Nonetheless, $900,000 is really quite a lot of money.
Based on the information we got on this amount, about $800,000 or $750,000 represent legal fees, if I’m not mistaken.
