It's a minority government here. That's where I get frustrated. It is a minority government here, so if he's down there in Washington now, I want to help him, but if he's not talking to me, I can't give him any help. There are members on the Republican side who we could link to and assist with, but nobody's asking us to, and when we are asked to, we're kind of put in a corner. How do I help you when I'm in a corner?
Where I'm getting really frustrated is that I see how serious this is, and I understand the dynamics in Washington. I understand that we're going to be going into the midterms, and we're going to lose our ability to talk to anybody in the House there within the next month or two. I also understand that a lame duck president is probably going to be a result of the midterms and the Democrats feel they need to get this through now.
It doesn't seem to me that this government or the bureaucrats down in Washington understand the importance of politically active politicians who talk to other politicians and what we can do help you in this industry. How do I get that message across? Do you think Mr. Volpe could get that message across to the minister?
