Having witnessed the rigmarole for the Peace Tower in 1994 and having gone back home to Montreal with our tail between our legs, we had no choice this time around but to try something different. I would like to think today that it is because of the qualifications and the work of my grandfather, my father, and my own, but I tend to believe that it is a combination of that and, more importantly, because of the fact that we hired a lobbyist.
So yes, because we paid, we received.
