I fully agree. In the past when these type of disputes occurred the parties would all be called into a private meeting and the same discussions had. In this case they could have agreed privately that to maintain Bowman's promise of transparency they would proceed with the public EOI on 220 Carlton. True North would submit a version of their current plan and would then be viewed as the best proposal preserving the option they signed with CV. At the same time CV and True North could have been read the riot act privately that going forward this is not how things will be done. Everyone then heads out after the agreement is in place for beers and an "all smiles" photo op while they are secretly tossing each other's track suits into the showers behind the scenes.
