I just want to ask Mr. Wiersema some questions. I get the impression of a crisis mentality going on here in February--meetings with Treasury Board, Public Works, the Deputy Minister of the Department of Public Safety, the captain of the centre. It was a pretty high-level thing. Nobody really missed the meetings; there must have been some urgency. I would think cabinet ministers would also have been quite interested in what was going on at those meetings.
I'm not sure why the whole matter should have been urgent, because in July 2003 there was a meeting with Public Works and these people, and they had an agreement in principle. Isn't that right, Mr. Wiersema? To your recollection, there was an agreement in principle in the summer of 2003?
