On a point of order, Mr. Chairman, first of all, over the past year and month or so, it has been a Conservative government in office. Before that, for 12 years and two months...in fact, you'll recall that last November was, in fact, the thirteenth anniversary of the election of the Liberal government. So when the Conservatives had been in power for ten months by then, I don't see what kind of new arithmetic Mr. Lake is engaging in when he concludes that it was 13 years, when in fact it was 12 years and two months. Twelve years and two months is far shy of 13 years. We don't say a child who is 12 years and two months old is 13.
I think we understand that this is nonsense, Mr. Chair.
