Thank you. Let me put it another way for you.
Suppose that I'm volunteering my services, as an accountant by profession trained at the time, to a board of directors or as a consultant to a business and, in that context, I ask for a system to be put in place that will allow me to award contracts to myself. Do you feel that would be entirely in order?
I'm asking because that's what I'm getting from your comments. In other words, Mr. Barton recommended that the Canada Infrastructure Bank be created, and then that same bank awarded him contracts.
I, for one, would not be comfortable in a situation like that, but you seem to be quite comfortable. I'm trying to figure out why.
