Mr. Godin, I did not say agitated, I said aggressive. I am telling you clearly that both can co-exist. There was no interference. You referred to interference, but there was none at all. I was the one who signed the final report, I am the one who takes responsibility for it, according to the mandate that I received. I had discussions with the minister throughout the process. When we were in Ottawa, on January 24, during the wrap-up event, I was sitting right beside the minister, Mr. Godin. If I told you that I did not speak to the minister during the process, you would reply that I was sitting right beside her and that I must have spoken to her. Absolutely, I was sitting beside her and I did speak to her about the consultations. I informed her of what people had told me.
