Mr. Speaker, as I pointed out to the House, the Francophonie Games was a very large international undertaking. It was organized over a period of at least two years. It was a complex undertaking involving many participants. Over the course of that period of time, it happens, as in business usually, that contract requirements can change and be amended. This was the case in this instance.
In the House of Commons on June 6th, 2002. See this statement in context.
