I want to thank you for coming before us. These are always very difficult topics. I've been a member of Parliament for very many years, and obviously patronage is in the eye of the beholder. I recall, shortly after we formed the government in the mid-nineties, when by order in council Kim Campbell was appointed honourary counsel in Los Angeles and we were accused of making a patronage appointment. So it depends on who's where, what, and at what time. It's always complicated.
But I thank you for coming. Hopefully you've given us all some insight into the process and the relationships.
