I'm saying that the amount, the contingent liability of $21.8 million, was recorded in the financial statement of the Government of Canada. It was not recorded against the appropriation based on the legal advice that was obtained.
Do I like it? No. But the legal advice was making reference to the fact that the law, the Financial Administration Act, makes reference to the word “debt” and not “liability.” Do I like it? Absolutely not, but it's the law.
