Well, as I have indicated on a couple of occasions already, clearly that was not the thing to do, and I regret it. I would not do so again. But I think the important part of all of this is to realize that I really didn't think I was giving away any state secrets, because I was not. Foreign interference is a problem here that we've known about for a long time. And if foreign interference is going to be exercised on the Canadian political system, it has to be exercised by people who play in the political system. I was adding a level of detail that I should not have.
