You know, life moves on. This was twenty years ago. Ottawa was different then; life was different. So you are all to be congratulated for the rigour that all of you now bring to public policy, which is greater than in our time. I think it's tremendous. I think the Accountability Act that you brought in is excellent. The more rigour, the more transparency, the better it is and the better it will be.
The Airbus matter was examined by the RCMP, then re-examined by the RCMP, and then the examination went on for another six years to 2003, when I received a letter from the commissioner saying there's nothing here. We've investigated this both in Canada and around the world. After an exhaustive inquiry by the RCMP, there's nothing here and no charges will ever be laid.
Although we don't have the instruments of transparency that you have given yourselves--which is much to your credit--in this case that you raise, it was clean as a hound's tooth.
