There are two parts to the department's role. One took place during the period in which the financing was arranged. The financing was provided through Export Development Canada, but through a specific business line referred to as the Canada Account. The Minister of Finance has a responsibility in respect of authorizing. His concurrence is required in respect of authorizations for using that particular instrument .
There was also a role for the Department of Finance in working with colleagues in the way that Phil outlined in terms of deputy minister committees. Our department wanted to keep apprised of developments because of potential fiscal implications, so we were involved in that work. The department has been involved—because as you asked in your first question in terms of where the holdings are managed—and has a role in maintaining relationships with the crown corporation on this, and other files as well, but has a role in monitoring that.
