The reason I'm smiling is that Quebec told us specifically that it didn't want us to consult those people. The minister told me personally that she preferred I not reach out directly to universities, which I didn't agree to, obviously. We have to be able to talk to who we want to talk to. The reality, however, is that, in order to adhere to the accord with Quebec, we had to limit our interactions with Quebec organizations.
