Mr. Chair, I think I have canvassed this question a couple of times. I am the principal advisor to the Minister of National Resources on all matters within his portfolio. As such, I sit in...and I provide advice on all aspects of the portfolio. I don't believe there was any necessity, or that it would have been in any way useful or made any difference to bring that information to the attention of the head of CNSC.
