Thank you.
Mr. Franks, professor of political science at Queen's, was here earlier today. He made a number of statements in his opening comments that he later apologized for, saying they were incorrect. They had many of the same misconceptions that the opposition has and perhaps members of the general public. They were factual inaccuracies. He stated that. He apologized for that.
I mention that because Mr. Laframboise and other members of the opposition seemed to be going down the same line, saying they believe you deliberately misled Parliament. I would point out just because the opposition thinks so or says so doesn't make it so.
Once again, did you at any time suggest, infer, nudge, nudge, wink, wink, try to give any impression whatsoever, to either Parliament or the general public, that the decision to not fund Kairos was a decision made by CIDA officials, or did you always, at every opportunity, tell them that it was your decision, and your decision alone, by your statements in the House and outside the House?
