That statement just doesn't hold water, Mr. Gagliano, because, first of all, we've got the memo from your executive assistant, Jean-Marc Bard, who put the whole project on hold. That is direct intervention in the administration. And then Claude Drouin, who was a parliamentary secretary, was able to reverse the entire process after the lease had actually been signed. So your statement that you had no influence--you could only be informed--doesn't hold water.
