Thank you, Mr. Patry.
I want to thank our committee.
I want to take another minute on one question, if the chair can take the prerogative. Sometimes on this committee, especially with this legislation, it's as if you're living in the middle of a John Grisham novel. I don't know if you've read any of his, but it's difficult to take the right approach on some of these.
Mr. Peterson, I do want to come back to a question, not as a minister, but politically. If you were to put on that hat of the senior cabinet minister one more time, not just from the government-to-industry relationship you want to keep going, but also politically.... There's an election coming, and you're now the minister. Mr. McKay or Madame Lalonde has already said that with our current regime, there won't be any investigative work by our CSR officer on a report in the newspaper.
In other words, if there's a report in the newspaper, there should be this movement now to—I think it was Mr. McKay who suggested that in testimony today. Politically, when the majority of Canadians seem to find the work of the industry very suspect, wouldn't it be political dynamite to make it look as if you were walking away or not doing your due diligence as minister?
