But yes, I do swear.
You obviously remember the circumstances under which I came into politics; it was sort of an accident, if you want. I thought, and still believe, that given my professional background as a banker and as a businessperson, the match at Public Works actually was a good one, to be fairly honest with you. I think if you asked the people that I work with over there, they would say objectively that we were a good match. I let them do their job; I did mine, but I was aware of what was going on. We had a two-way dialogue.
I think the best example is how we executed the real estate transaction. We worked hand in hand with the department and we executed, I think, as I said, a very good transaction for taxpayers and demonstrated that a minister can work with the department in a productive way.
