Mr. Speaker, not surprisingly, our colleague is not listening to me. Of course, rumours had been going around for a few days and I am on record in Hansard as saying on April 28 that I had heard a rumour to that effect a couple of days prior to the takeover.
So, the hon. member's story shows not only that he does not listen but that he does not read Hansard . Only a wizard could have predicted exactly when the transaction would take place. In order to know, I would have had to be informed of what was going on. I did not learn about the transaction on the day it took place because, as I have been telling you repeatedly, no one kept me fully informed of this whole matter.
