Minister, with all due respect, when you sign a contract you're responsible for it. I didn't give you a hard time about the region, because we're going to haul your colleague Mr. Bernier over the coals on that.
I know that there is a little bit of a spat going on between the two of you because when you were minister responsible for the Montreal region you fought so that Quebec would get at least some share and unfortunately it didn't work because Mr. Bernier was better at grovelling than you. But that's another story.
But the question is, as the official in charge of signing off on contracts, the buck stops with you.
