Mr. Speaker, the first response I have to the hon. member's question is that it is absolute nonsense. First and foremost, as I said yesterday, and perhaps the hon. member was not listening, Parks Canada paid an additional $235,000 for additional things that were required by Parks Canada. It is not unusual, even in private contracts, under a building contract, when we have change orders and when we have are extras, to pay extra.
If we look at it again, what we paid in relation to the total contract was less than 5%, which is well within the construction industry norm.
