Again, not to interrupt—and I hate doing this, but I have to get this clear—in your role as a fairly accomplished, fairly seasoned lobbyist, you're saying that you didn't realize that the Standing Committee on Finance, doing pre-budget consultations, which you must have been aware of.... You follow these things closely. You're saying you thought it was publicly available? If you follow these issues, you must have then concluded that the final report was tabled in Parliament. This was your job, right? You're supposed to be aware of these things so you can advise your clients accordingly. You're saying you didn't know this was a draft report—that's your statement—which means you must have believed that the final report had been tabled in Parliament.
