My concern was that on the December 8 phone call that Minister Lunn requested—he requested this phone call, and I arranged for one of my staff to be with me on the phone call—it was the belief of both myself and the person on that phone call that the minister was telling us that we would bring the commission together and this is what the commission would decide to do. That was our impression of that December 8 phone call.
As I said, in the letter of the 10th as well, which is public information—and I have the exact quote here—the minister said to me in that letter, we want to know what were your reasons for doing this. Under quasi-judicial tribunals, once you're seized with a scenario, which we were because of AECL's letter of intent of December 7, this now becomes someone telling you what to do in a specific decision.
