Okay. I have to tell you, I didn't hear a great answer there.
I'll move on to the next one in line. You're prepared for this; you know these are coming. This was the question:
Could you clarify for us what role your office played concerning the administrative details of the sponsorship program, and advertising matters....
The quote goes on, but that's the relevant part.
You answered here, sir, in part, that:
We at the Prime Minister's Office were in no way involved in the administrative management of the program. I want that to be very clearly understood.
Then, at the commission, you were asked the following:
From your answer, I understand that opinions given by Mr. Guité related, on one hand, to the appropriateness of supporting a given event…and, on the other hand, to the level of funding for various events?
To this you said:
Yes, certain events would ask too much, and I would say, “No, that doesn’t make any sense. That’s too much. It’s a worthwhile event, but not at that level.”
And “that level” is the level of funding.
The way I see it, that is very much involvement in....
Could you comment on that, please?
