Obviously, Mr. Fergus, it saddens me in a certain way that this has happened.
I understand that I am a past member of Parliament and things will be politicized and that there are people who will see that there is political gain to be had by that. I understand that; I'm not naive.
I can tell the Canadian people, and I can state unequivocally, that I did not use any relationships to try to get any contract for anything. I have not done that. Not only that, I am very proud of what we've accomplished.
There have been a number of statements, as you said, Mr. Fergus. First of all, there have been 14 contracts—not one or two, but 14 separate contracts for ventilators and accessories. Mr. Jamieson's contract and FTI's Ventilators for Canadians is just one of 14. These ideas that it was single-sourced are falsehoods that have been spread, if I could say that.
