Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Elwin, you've had an interesting career since you first came here with the Reform Party in 1993. You had strong opinions then, and there's certainly nothing wrong with that, but you are in a different position now. A number of rumours are going on out there, and I'd like to clear them up before I get into the meat of the issue.
The current minister was your campaign manager in 1993, wasn't he?
