But I just want to make it clear that what occurred here and what's indicated by the letter is that an error was made and is being corrected. I don't think it would be fair to categorize the statement that was made by the deputy minister as being made with impunity. I don't think it was.
I think it is important that statements be correct. But I also think it's important that if the officials find that they have misstated or provided information that isn't correct, they do what was in fact done here: correct it, and correct it on the record. I don't think anything was done with impunity. I wouldn't have gathered that from the facts that we saw, both in the committee that I was in and also the letter that brings it forward. I think it's good to bring the letter forward to correct the wrong impression. I just want to state that.
