Mr. Gathercole put his job on the line demanding complete exoneration of Hydro in its deal- ings with a private develoner for construction of a $45 million head office building. Mr. Gathercole's statement and later questioning included a number of disclosures. Hydro architect Ken Candy attended a meeting with Gerhard Moog, President of Canada Square Corporation, on the 10th June, 1971, more than a year before Hydro approved entering into a contract with the firm. During the meeting a leaseback proposition was discussed. Mr. Candy sent Mr. Moog copies of architectural, elec- trical, mechanicall, structural and plumbing drawirds of an earlier design for a head office building two months after another developer's request for the drawings was refused. Henry Sissons, Hydro's assistant general manager for .services and, as such, the of- ficial in charge of the head office project, had warned in a* memorandum dated the 15th • August, 1969, that a leaseback arrangement of the sort even- tually entered into would involve a "much higher cost" to Hydro. Later on in the hearings, a Confidential memo from Mr. Sis- sons to Mr. Gathercole urged the job be steered to the Moog firm. The memorandum dated November 1971 recommended that the job of building a new Hydro head officke go to "the developer in whom we have com- plete confidence." Mr. Gathercole finally agreed that anyone who read the memo would have to conclude that the reference was to Canada Square Corporation, the eventual builder. • The note was written three months after Canada Square was supplied with drawings of a shelved design for the project and well before an invitation went out to four other developers to submit competing proposals. 0 n other matters, the use of Government planes raised its head again. Premier. William Davis de- fended his winter vacation flights to Florida in aGovernment leased executive. Jet.. Mr. Davis said because of security reasons he had been advised not to use commercial airlines. The Premier said he had de- cided two years ago to use • Government aircraft for other than Government business, and added that he made no apologies for it. Government business; however, remains tye criteria for use of Government aircraft . by other Cabinet Ministers. Mr. Davis said he is 'setting aside for the Ontario Treasury the equivalent of first class fares for himself and his wife and economy fares for his child- ren and guests. The Estimates of the various Ministries are receiving atten- tion and scrutiny by the Members. At' the moment, the spending pro- grammes for the Solicitor General and the Ministry of the Environment are receiving con- sideration.
