Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Professor, for being here.
You commented on the proposed coalition in 2008, and notwithstanding the fact that you made a point of the negatives of it—that it was done in haste, that there was no previous discussion during the campaign, the uncertainty of Mr. Dion's tenure, and that it was unwieldy—you seemed to attach a fair bit of significance to the fact that it was in writing. I'm wondering, in terms of the political realities, how much weight we should put on the fact that it was in writing.
