Public Accounts Committee

2017 Annual Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General and Appropriation Accounts
Vote 13 - Office of Public Works
Chapter 6: Lease of Offices at Miesian Plaza

9:00 am

Mr. Maurice Buckley:

I know. We picked the higher cost. The higher cost is the Miesian Plaza building. One could say it was not costing anything to keep the civil servants in Hawkins House apart from the small maintenance costs, but there was an opportunity cost. The whole point was to take advantage of the new building and the new work environment. We took the higher cost. The Comptroller and Auditor General will agree we have not argued that the alternative had no rent associated with it.
