Mr. Maurice Buckley:

The board of OPW comprises eight people who work together day in, day out. These alternative sites would have been thoroughly discussed and evaluated. The board members and all the expertise in that board would have been fully involved. I am confident of that. What we are talking about is a formal documentation of that process. I have said that I will check the records of the management board to see if documents were produced evaluating the two alternatives and if they were, I will make them available to the committee. We are talking about the documentation around the process. We are not talking about the evaluation itself. It is important to state that. That has not been called into question and I would not like it called into question. A thorough evaluation of alternatives did take place, but the Deputy is correct to say it was not documented in a way that makes it easy for the Comptroller and Auditor General and for the committee to follow.
