Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the Lahm Ridge Tower Investment Company owned by Mr. Marceau had approached the regional superintendent, Mr. Vince Dixon, to extend the lease provision of their agreement Mr. Vince Dixon was directed by my deputy minister, Mr. Ken Lovely, to go ahead and negotiate a lease. Once all the elements of the lease were hammered out between Mr. Dixon and Mr. Marceau, and when it came time to sign these documents, they became aware that Mr. Marceau was interested in selling his property to a northern company. A northern numbered company. We knew the identity of the owners. It was not a condition of his sale. I do not know whether Mr. Marceau had the options of putting this deal in his pocket and walking away. It is obvious by Mr. Marceau approaching the Department of Public Works staff and asking to extend the lease, then once the lease was hammered out, coming again to us and saying he was going to sell his property and we had to do this assignment. It is obvious his intention all along was to negotiate the lease and then sell his property to another company. Thank you.
