Both today and certainly in the House, when you spoke to the bill, you raised the issue of decision-making with regard to appropriate spending of public funds. Not only in P.E.I. and Bodner but also in a number of other decisions the courts have made it quite clear that the test, if I can put it that way, or those criteria are to be applied when a government is in financial difficulty.
You're not suggesting, are you, that there was any inability on the part of the federal government to pay the amounts recommended by the commission?
