Mr. Rainer, you quoted from a May 2006 letter from the Government of Canada to the United Nations that was boasting about this program and its uniquely Canadian character.
From that period of May to three or four months later, we've seen a major change in the government's stated position on this challenge. They seemed to take a very partisan line. It wasn't just a program that needed to be cut because of financial reasons; there seemed to be a definite desire to get rid of it for particular reasons. Mr. Baird said he didn't think it was in the interest of government to fund minority groups to challenge government.
What do you think happened in that four-month period to turn the government from being so rosy and positive about this program to being so negative?
