Mr. Fortier, I wanted to close the loop on the CGI contract issue. It's an interesting moment, I guess, in Canadian politics and maybe a sad moment that you get a banner headline in the Ottawa Citizen saying “$400 million conflict of interest” over a contract that you didn't personally get involved in, in any way, directly or indirectly.
And Mr. Rodriguez mentioned, as well, that he's convinced that there is no conflict of interest, and never was one.
It's important that this point be driven home with regard to the process associated with this contract and how the minister himself, directly, does oversee projects within Public Works and how the contracting is done for these types of events. Mr. Marshall made mention of that.
Just to reaffirm, on this CGI contract and then on this issue, with regard to your involvement in this, can you just make it crystal clear to this committee and to Canadians that you were not involved in any way with regard to this contract, as Mr. Rodriguez has confirmed?
