		The inquiry also heard that while the complexity and uncertainty of Y2K loomed, senior IT staffers at city hall could often be found on the golf course, including the city’s executive director of IT, Jim Andrew, CFO Wanda Liczyk and Lana Viinamae, the director of the year 2000 project.

		The baby of leasing should not be thrown out with the bath water of unethical behaviour and negligence uncovered by Justice Bellamy.
