Mr. Chair, the minister had a choice to come here and be forthcoming. He didn't do so. He misrepresented at this committee by omission.
I have to ask you this: You said you had nothing to do with the operations of GHI. Now you admit that in fact you did. The paying of the bill is an operational matter. If you had nothing to do with GHI, why wouldn't you simply pick up the phone, call Purolator, tell them you have nothing to do with the operations of the business and ask them to call Mr. Anderson? Why didn't you do that?
