Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I am just going to echo one of the things that Blaine said. I'm okay if we take that as an addition as opposed to a complete change. I'm not averse to taking a very hard position on this either--not at all.
My only concern was my comment that I did make--and I'm not concerned about using the term at all--which is that we are losing this in the court of public opinion in Europe, and it's perception, not reality. It's perception, and that was my only reason for saying that maybe if we toned out that one word we would have a different perception. But I'm not interested in soft-pedalling it if nobody else in the committee is. I have no problem going in full bore. It's not a problem at all. I just put that back on the record.
Mr. Byrne, I certainly hope you've taken your Senate colleagues out by the woodshed and given them the same lecture you gave us just a minute ago.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
