Yes, you knew. I'm sorry, but you did know, because on May 10, the first question about this issue, and about the fact that the FrancoFolies had not been given any money, was raised in the House. You knew at that point that marquee event organizations were literally losing their grant under the Marquee Tourism Events Program. So, you did know. You said earlier that you made your submission to Treasury Board in June.
So, looking at the sequence of events, it is clear that you knew, when you accepted or requested the $8 million, that you would be taking money away from organizations which were severely in need of it. Indeed, they needed it so much that they were forced to cancel several shows.
