Mr. Chair, this is extremely serious. The minister's own statement on The Rutherford Show was basically that Algerian ministers over in their state buying enterprise were saying that they love dealing with Canada, and they get a really good deal--a really good deal. They get several dollars a tonne federal cheaper than they can get anywhere else. That's coming from a Canadian minister.
I mean, that is pretty sad, Mr. Chair. The minister and his parliamentary secretary should at least try to deal with the facts on this issue. They can get the confidential information. I take Mr. Arason at his word.
