As I told you, I have no direct recollection of this file except based on the correspondence or other testimonies that I have read. We have never stopped this file. We probably asked for what you call in French un moment d'attente, answer our question: Is the minister's office in agreement with the move or not?
As far as the memo you're referring to, we weren't there, because Mr. Gagliano stopped being a minister on January 15, 2002. Why didn't you ask for Mr. Goodale's chief of staff to come in front of the committee and explain what Mr. Arès was saying?
