Yes. I will keep it brief, Mr. Chair. I simply wanted to wrap up my earlier comments about the expenses incurred by third parties in conjunction with a love-in, so to speak. Professor Boyer started off by saying that yes, Canada does love Quebec, that he loves Quebec, that as an Ontarian, he loves Quebec, and so on and so forth.
You agree with me that expenses incurred by third parties should be accounted for. That is what you said at the conclusion of your response. I simply want to make the following comment for your benefit, and for the benefit of committee members. An outpouring of affection should not give rise to any illegal acts. I'm not sure whether your have a son or a daughter. You love your children, you love to spoil them and to give them nice gifts, but I'm fairly confident that you wouldn't hold up a bank and steal $100,000 to give to your children because you love them. In short, an outpouring of affection should not result in any illegal acts such as the ones committed in Quebec during the 1995 referendum.
