First of all, I want to clarify something. Neither the PMO, nor the Prime Minister indirectly sent out any message. All throughout the process, from the discussions that we had, there was never any question that a briefing was held at the office of the Minister of Public Works when we first arrived in Ottawa. At that time, our officials advised us to continue going the legal route. As we communicated with other government authorities, there was never any question of changing our course of action and of not pursuing legal action.
On February 28th, 2008. See this statement in context.
