Since January 20, the board of directors and I have closed the door to the past. I have put an end to the investigations and reports. I have done nothing more than report the facts as told to me by Mr. Sarrasin. I have just reported the facts. With that done, we have to build for the future. I think it is my job to build for the future and that is what I am doing. Look, let me do my job. I need you so that I can do it. This has been going on for a year. It is 2011 now. Nothing is to be gained in rehashing the problems and talking about a crisis that hurt people on the staff, people on the board of directors, and Mr. Beauregard's family. Are we going to be rehashing it all for years to come? As Canadians, we all want an organization with a role to play on the international stage. Help me to move past what I will be the first to acknowledge was an unfortunate crisis for Rights and Democracy. Help me.
