That was the practice that was utilized. As the president of CIDA indicated at the foreign affairs committee, this was a common process that was undertaken. There was no confusion among CIDA officials. When the documents were returned to the department, they understood clearly that this was the only way available to the minister, considering the document format that was utilized at that time. It has since been corrected. There is clearly a place to indicate disagreement with recommendations from the department. The process was common. There were other incidents.
I would also ask the president, Ms. Biggs, to explain the format, the review they undertook, and the format of the documents we currently use.
