There were so few parliamentarians that ever knew anything about it, including ourselves then, that there were only two to show up, and we were faced by a battery of bureaucrats—there must have been eight or ten—and, significantly, there was nobody from the Ministry of the Environment.
Il y avait si peu de parlementaires qui étaient même un peu au courant de la situation, y compris nous-mêmes à ce moment-là, que seulement deux personnes sont venues; il y avait toute une panoplie de bureaucrates—huit ou dix personnes—et chose importante, il n'y avait personne du ministère de l'Environnement.
