The President of the Consulting Firm for RendezVous Lebreton Group has spoken out about the allegations made by Eugene Melnyk's company, who have filed a $700 million lawsuit.
In a statement released Tuesday, Graham Bird said “We have worked so hard, along with so many team members, and those at the National Capital Commission and the City of Ottawa. We are ready, willing and able to proceed with the LeBreton Flats development.”
Bird was named as a defendant along side Trinity Founder John Ruddy in a statement claim filed by Capital Sports Management (CSMI), which alleges both Bird and Ruddy misused confidential inside information about the Lebreton project and abused the trust of CSMI.
“As a lifelong resident of Ottawa, I remain committed to the redevelopment of LeBreton Flats and the transformation of our downtown core,” said Mr. Bird. “My firm is committed to working to restore the historic landmark of LeBreton, to stop the leaching of contaminants into the Ottawa river, and to continue pursuing the right solution with willing partners including the National Capital Commission.”
John Ruddy has also come out denying the allegations.
