Excuse me, you're running down the clock here, and it's just not true.
I have an e-mail from Suzanne Cloutier, who says, in an e-mail to other public servants:
For your information, here are the results of the meeting with JM Bard about the following files: Canada Economic Development: File on hold....
Keep the Minister's office informed of any new developments.
So Ms. Cloutier, after coming out of a meeting with your chief of staff, concluded, “file on hold”. She didn't indicate here that he was seeking more information about the process.
So I think we should zero in on the truth here, because what you're telling us is not the truth.
