Mr. Chair, I would perhaps have to clarify that the only reason I asked to meet the committee is that I would like to inform you of an announcement that we will be making later this afternoon. It is simply a matter of courtesy. It has absolutely nothing to do with reporting strategy. If members are uncomfortable with that, we would be glad to send you a copy of the announcement as it is released. But given the importance of this committee to us and that we work for you, we would like to inform you in advance. There is absolutely nothing more to it than that. It is information that I would be very uncomfortable sharing with you publicly, but it will be public this afternoon.
On January 30th, 2007. See this statement in context.
