Mr. Chair, as I've said, I would never intentionally mislead the House. I have come today with the facts and the truth.
Mr. Chair, this is, as I say, a very serious situation that I find myself in. That's why I'm here before committee, to give you the truth, to give you the facts. I don't diminish in any way the seriousness.
I would believe that upon hearing the facts and the truth in a fair and open meeting today, you will find that I have not intended to mislead the House.
