I think the initial reaction was, “Where are you coming from with that?” We were doing this for trade and commerce to promote—so it didn't seem that it was something specific to health that was worthy of comment.

As a caveat, I wasn't working at the association at that time. The brief that's in your package on Bill C-6 gives a more fulsome history of that, so I would direct your attention to that. I could follow up with my colleagues on the actual source of that quote.
