It's just a statement of fact. I'm showing the predicament that Mr. Easter finds himself in. The NFU, perhaps supporters of the NFU, and certainly some of the witnesses we had in front of committee or their supporters would have been in favour of Mr. Atamanenko's bill. They would have fully supported Mr. Easter right up until the moment when he cast the deciding vote against Mr. Atamanenko's bill and it failed to pass in the House of Commons.
Mr. Easter has been under tremendous pressure from all of these groups and organizations that were in his camp, so to speak. They've probably been thumping him and asking what he was thinking, why he sold out on them, and why he threw in the towel. What kind of pressure could have been brought to bear to be such a turncoat to what they wanted him to do?
Now Mr. Easter has to make it up. Somehow he has to come up with a way to appease them and say “No, wait. You don't understand. I was always for you and your interests.”
