I certainly don't want to be part of a revisionist history. The industry was not at the table, did not participate in the negotiations, and is not signatory to the agreement.
We were consulted fitfully. We received drafts on very short time horizons. We were not consulted about Bill C-24. We received no drafts of Bill C-24. We received no explanations of the intentions or ideas behind Bill C-24 at any time. So as to the bill, from me at least and I think also from Mr. Pearson, you're getting a fair reading from reviled lawyers--it's lawyers, after all, who are going to have to deal with the bill—and we're reading it back to you as best we can, interpreting what the draft says as best we can, but not having been consulted at all, at any stage, about this bill.
