First of all, the first time I learned about that was by reading the documents and electronic e-mails that were exchanged. As I answered Mr. Crête before, my staff was regularly meeting with the officials from Public Works and Government Services, not just on this file but on different files, to get information, so that as regional ministers who were receiving a lot of demands for information we could answer those requests in a timely fashion. I have to assume from reading the documents, because I was not made aware that there was a hold or not, that they were asking questions and were not getting answers, and they were waiting for the answers.
