Mr. Fortin, we've got letters from finance ministers from every province across this country. The finance department supports this; Mr. David Dodge has made his comments today, and Mr. D'Alessandro, and Mr. Dancey.
You're in opposition to that, and as a former member of the Department of Finance you made an absurd comment that I think discredited you as a witness here today when you stated that big corporations behind the scenes have influenced the Ministry of fFnance in their decisions. Are you suggesting that's what happened when you actually worked for the Department of Finance, or was that happening after you left?
