As I understand it, you found out on June 11 that the Canada Infrastructure Bank had decided to provide $1 billion in funds for ships to be built in China. Then, on June 12, you met with the president of the Canada Infrastructure Bank, who somehow told you that the agreement had been signed, all decisions had been made and nothing further could be changed at that point. Later, on June 16, Minister Freeland wrote a letter saying that federal funds should not be spent on this project.
Were the two departments not consulted at that time? Did you not tell her later on that her letter was a mistake? Don't you find that a bit hypocritical or strange?
