Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I also thank my colleague and friend, Mr. Christopherson, for his generosity.
Now turning to the witnesses, Ms. Bloodworth, you chaired an interdepartmental meeting, because that's what Mr. Pigeon says—he is responding to you—an interdepartmental meeting, chaired by you on Thursday, February 5, 2004.
Then, Mr. Judd, you became involved. Were you at the meeting, Mr. Judd?
