Mr. Speaker, the Prime Minister was not involved in that decision, which was made following a recommendation by the Department of Finance and the Department of Energy. This was done following an open bid to most brokers in Canada, as well as in the United States, I might add.
I should mention that the commission was not high; in fact, it was one of the lowest ever paid for such a transaction in Canada. It is obvious why Gordon was involved. We had the option of either selling on the open market or of arranging a block purchase, and Gordon Capital happens to be an expert when it comes to block purchases.
