Can you understand the difficulty we're having? You were a member of Parliament for 12 years. We have to assume you understand the seriousness of the committee. It's very difficult for some of us to understand how you could not have been prepared on April 21, or didn't take it seriously enough to prepare on April 21. There are a number of inconsistencies we have. We know that the business card was used, maybe once. E-mails were sent, maybe inadvertently, but they were sent. Meetings in office: personal, not business. You used passports, thought the rules were a bit different, but didn't check into them.
Can you understand the very difficult time we're having with all of this, with all the testimony you provided, the inconsistencies? And after so many years of government, previous governments where Canadians expected a higher standard, where we expected a higher standard, would you agree that you failed the test?
