Mr. Blumberg, just in my final seconds, I know a lot of charities that register to lobby, and they're going pretty much for contracts that are worth peanuts compared to what the Kielburgers were going for. That Craig could write directly to Bill Morneau and say, “Hey, Bill, how's your family?”, and ask for $12 million and get it 11 days later, seems to me to be a pretty staggering inside track that I haven't seen anywhere else. Is that common in the charity circuit?
