I would think that somebody who's been in politics as long as you have, Mr. Stoffer, would have a greater knowledge of how this works.
You said that you asked all the people at the MFU meeting if they had been consulted about the bill before tabling and they said no. I agree with that. If you were to ask every Canadian, including parliamentarians, if they were consulted about the bill before tabling, they would say no. Because until the bill is tabled, even my colleagues don't see the bill, nor can I consult.
