Thank you, Mr. Cousineau. I accept your explanation that you were caught off guard like the rest of us were in the midst of the rant prior to the break.
Mr. Kusmierczyk also accused the Conservatives of wanting to downsize when, in fact, this is the argument that you and the officials have made as one of the reasons for why this is such an acceptable place for the consul general to be moving to. Which is it? What's the official government line?
Is it because it's a smaller residence and you want to downsize that you're pursuing this residence, or is it something else?
