I appreciate that we may not be on the same page, but I think the remarks I made and the analysis of the legislation don't have to do with casting aspersions upon EDC. They have to do with what the formal mechanisms of accountability are. People can do a great job within the existing structure, in principle. Canadian companies can be good companies. EDC can be a good investor. The Canada Pension Plan Investment Board can be a responsible investor. All that is possible, and I attribute good faith to people. But there are moments at which we have to ask ourselves what the accountability mechanisms are, and this is a piece of accountability.
