Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I said what I said before, that I stand by anything I said in the past. The only part of this that I would change slightly is the part about departmental people. I presume I was talking about politicians, because my officials work much too hard to have been drinking cognac. As I never had a drink in my life myself, I'm certainly not sitting around drinking cognac.
I still hold that view, Mr. Stoffer. That whole situation is in a mess. Again, it was one of the very first things we started to address when we came to the department. In fact, a tremendous amount of work had been done. Except perhaps for some of the other crisis situations that have developed over the last couple of months, this also would now be on the table, but we have moved a long way on that and very soon we'll be coming forth with suggestions to deal with it.
My word of warning, I guess, which I have gotten out to people who are out there buying up licences thinking the government will grandfather what happened, is that I'd be careful where I invested my money.
