Mr. Patrick Boyer: Sitting here at this table yesterday afternoon, in the same place, was the former deputy minister, who put right on the record the fact that within his department there was this operation that was going on that included the Privy Council Office and the Prime Minister's Office, and that he was, as you said, not in that loop. Understandably for a deputy minister, it was a matter of offending his pride.
M. Patrick Boyer: Il y avait hier après-midi, assis à cette table, à la même place, l'ancien sous-ministre, qui a déclaré officiellement qu'au sein de son ministère, il existait un programme qui faisait appel au Bureau du Conseil privé et au Bureau du premier ministre et que lui-même, comme vous l'avez dit, n' y était pas partie.
