Government Operations committee  Have I?

Government Operations committee  Oh.

Government Operations committee  Of course, in the House, absolutely.

Government Operations committee  Yes, those were updates. I could give you some details, if you wish.

Government Operations committee  You start with a certain amount of momentum, but I want to tell you right away that we didn't go into the details of such and such another business.

Government Operations committee  Yes.

Government Operations committee  No.

Government Operations committee  First, I never said I knew nothing. I'm talking about the award of that contract, Mr. Coderre. We may not be able to agree, but let's at least agree on the ground rules. The updates always concerned contract performance, the moving of employees, the buildings that were leased, lease problems, the fact that we thought we had four floors, but that we would only have three, what we were going to do with a group of members, and so on.

Government Operations committee  No, not in the case of this one.

Government Operations committee  Listen, as I said, this was, and I suspect still is, a huge endeavour involving significant logistics. When I became minister, this project had already begun several years earlier. I was not the initiator of this. The work around the Hill had begun several ministers before me, and I suspect will continue several ministers after Ms.

Government Operations committee  Yes, and I would add this. Monsieur Coderre says that all the people who were there then have since left--and I take you at your word--but I left, and I'm here today, so why don't you convene them and ask them? Maybe you should do that. Why not?

Government Operations committee  Maybe I've thrown a wrench into the process here, I'm not quite sure. But if they've gone....

Government Operations committee  Never.

Government Operations committee  Yes.

Government Operations committee  Absolutely.
