I ask because what we found was that the National Research Council's collaboration centre for green energy materials in Ontario, a $58.9-million project completed last year, had a cost overrun of up to $77 million. What wood did they use in their picnic tables or lawn furniture? It was Brazilian walnut, and 290,000 dollars' worth.
As a member of team Canada, you know we're supposed to buy Canadian. How do you square that circle when the government itself is buying furniture made from Brazilian walnut versus a Canadian-made product?
