Dave MacKenzie at the Public Safety and National Security Committee

I'll share the time with Mr. Lobb.

Mr. Elcock, I would like to give you a little quote from a newspaper to indicate that no less an authority agreed with you,or whoever made the decision about Huntsville...and maybe my friends opposite will appreciate the context. It says this is from the Hunstville Forester September 17, 2008:

We want to make it very clear to all the residents of this riding that when we are the government of Canada, the next G8 Summit will be held at Deerhurst Resort in Huntsville.... You heard it from me: the G8 Summit will be in this community when we form the next government.

That was Liberal Leader Michael Ignatieff.

So you can see, folks, the choices were shared.

Mr. Lobb.
