I appreciate your concern. Certainly we've tried extensively to be consulted on this matter. In the last week or so, things have progressed very quickly. We did have meetings lined up with many members to discuss our concerns. Unfortunately, I was able to participate on only one day. I'm not sure who Mike met with. I personally have not met with any Conservative members, but it's important to note that we did try to take the traditional consultation method with PWGSC, and thus the government, and basically the hand was thrown up to us that consultations were over.
On June 17th, 2008. See this statement in context.
