I don't understand, Rahim, why you don't think it's lobbying. We have the e-mail exchange between you and Brian Jean, the parliamentary secretary who was engaged in this fund, which was the fund some of the companies you represented were interested in. You said:
Have you had a chance to look at the proposal for our solar project and power systems. Our preference is for the solar if there needs to be a choice between the two.
In expressing the preference, in expressing the choice, in expressing the interest, do you not see that as lobbying for one project over another? I don't see how, as an experienced member of Parliament, you can't see talking to a parliamentary secretary in charge of the funding as lobbying.
