The outcome was that the message was very well received. This is why I could explain this much better with a letter; otherwise you miss the kicking point in it. It was that I should just be calm, that there would be, of course, no guarantee, but since there was a leave application pending in front of the Supreme Court this decision would have to be made first by the court, and then the minister would look into it and do the right thing. This was at the time from Vic Toews. The truth was that pretty soon after all these discussions, Minister Toews made the decision before the Supreme Court made the decision. So it was very clear that the whole thing was a set-up.
