That's fine, thank you.
Minister, did you ask your department or the Department of Justice for a legal opinion on the potential problems caused by the lobbying work previously done by the present Minister of National Defence? He acted as a lobbyist for Raytheon and General Dynamics Canada.
As regards the call for tenders for your supply ships, it's possible suppliers may be frustrated since the contract will go to one of those companies for which your Minister of Defence previously worked as a lobbyist. Have you obtained a legal opinion on the danger or risk of a lawsuit against the Government of Canada as a result of the work of your Minister of National Defence in a previous life?
