Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
And thank you, sir, for attending.
We like to say, some of us here on this committee, myself included, that we'd been business people before being in politics, presumably because that gives us some insight or wisdom. I'm living proof that this is not necessarily the case, but I need to ask you a couple of questions.
You've gone on at some length about the qualities that Mr. Jaffer and Mr. Gillani demonstrated, which suggests to me, certainly from what you've said, that as it relates to Mr. Jaffer, he didn't even know how business works. But if Mr. Jaffer was so bad, why would you provide confidential corporate information to him to allow him to put a presentation forward?
