Mr. Fadden, I'll read to you what the Lower Mainland Local Government Association has written to you. It said:
We are however deeply dismayed by the method that you chose to announce your findings. Due to the broadness of your allegations, you have placed all of the 1600 locally elected officials in BC under a cloud of suspicion. That is hardly a supportive environment for local politicians who strive to discharge their duties faithfully and expediently.
I put to you, sir, that's exactly what the 1,600-plus locally elected officials in British Columbia feel, that you have smeared them all.
