Do you know what? If you're willing to bring in the Auditor General, I'm willing to negotiate what the rest of the sitting looks like. In terms of my goal, here's the thing; here's my real problem.
Madame Mendès, it's exactly what you said, when you said that basically the funding is not going to happen. You said, the bottom line is that this is not going to happen. My position is that it bloody well is, and I'm going to do everything I can to make that happen. Even if it's David and Goliath, David is still going to fight.
It seems to me that we're quite a way from a resolution. To be clear, what I would really need is to know that not only is this committee unanimously supporting that but that it's going to do something with the government. I've been around a long time. I can keep secrets, q.t., winks. I'd be more than willing to give the government whatever face-saver it needs. I offer this publicly. I will work with the government, publicly and privately, to do everything I can to help create a face-saver where this is easier to stand down from.
I don't care. I don't need headlines. That's the opposite of what I want. I'm trying to fade into the distance and you keep pushing me into a fight. I would love to get this resolved and go back to new serene Dave, rather than bringing this guy back.
