I'm not too exercised about it, but one of the frustrations was that some people have felt--I know this applies to Mr. Wilson maybe more than you--that it seemed the tone of those hearings at least started from the premise that the system wasn't broken and this is much ado about nothing. In fact I think he even said he preferred the ethical regime that he was administering when he was the Ethics Commissioner than what we're proposing in Bill C-2. I have to tell you that this is not shared by the general public. A lot of people are frustrated that Mr. Wilson never found anything wrong with anything that anybody ever did ever, but we knew there was bad stuff going on.
