Welcome, Mr. MacKay, a fellow Nova Scotian.
I have a couple of comments I'd like to make before I start the questions.
First, you quoted from an interview with Steve Maher. That interview was rather lengthy. One of the points that I did mention to him when he was doing that interview was that I hoped your injury wasn't serious and that you'd recover quickly. I maintain that; I hope we find you well today.
Second, you referred to the fact that our proceedings aren't televised nationally. I think you'll remember from your days in Parliament that very few committee proceedings are televised nationally, other than through CPAC. That doesn't diminish their importance.
The question I would like to begin with is the question you raised about your correspondence with Mr. Schreiber and the draft of a letter by Mr. Schreiber to Mr. Harper. Who asked you, if anybody, to draft that letter? I'm sorry, that was a letter from Mr. Schreiber to Mr. Mulroney, which we heard later was to be presented to Mr. Harper.
