Minister Raitt did testify last Wednesday night on this subject and indicated that our powers extend to General Motors of Canada Limited and that we have looked into the actions of that corporate entity in Canada and that, in fact, the recall occurred in both nations at the same time. The reality with any multinational corporation is that the headquarters determine when a recall occurs and then advises—directs—its wholly owned subsidiaries worldwide. There are many GMs worldwide who were informed by the corporate entity General Motors Company in Detroit as to when the defect existed, as to when the recall was declared, and as to how the remedy to that recall would be undertaken. That is a corporate decision.
