Mr. Speaker, that was because we believed the Prime Minister at the time.
What I am getting at is that when the lawyers have made provision for everything, they have also provided that an interest in the shares remained. They provided for more than that. They provided that the Prime Minister's company would be responsible for compensating Michaud “for damages and costs of any sort”, including article 3.6, “arising from proceedings or inquiries of any nature”.
In other words, through this agreement, the Prime Minister is proving to us that he has every interest in an inquiry not being held, not even in the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs, because his company would have to pay the cost of Michaud's lawyer. That is why he does not want an inquiry.
