Senator D. Smith: I'm not defending what has happened as a result of all these exercises, but when they were before the committee, I don't think anybody had any idea that, as a result of that, these recommendations would come — not from them — but of such a severe penalty.
Le sénateur D. Smith : Je ne défends pas ce qi s'est passé à la suite de tous ces exercices, mais quand le comité était saisi de ces questions, je crois que personne ne pensait que quelqu'un à l'extérieur du comité recommanderait des sanctions aussi sévères.
