Thank you.
Some members around the table may know that I was the political minister responsible for Toronto. One of the issues for which I was responsible was the Toronto Port Authority. I was part and parcel of that negotiation of the non-construction of a bridge and the settlement that led to a $35 million expenditure in lieu of a $20 million bridge.
I note that one of the other parties has now been replaced by the former city councillor in that area and was an advocate of the non-construction of the bridge and the elimination of the Toronto Port Authority, and an advocate of the lands administered by the port authority being transferred to the municipality.
I think it's important to understand that, because the questions I might ask Mr. Tassé will indeed be coloured by the experience I've had. I would further add that I'm also a member of Parliament from Toronto, one of two around the table, which makes the issue rather narrow.
Do you feel comfortable with that?
