Senator Boudreau: Honourable senators, I certainly will direct the question to the honourable minister. However, I would be surprised if, as he has indicated, those conversations took place and he did not express these views on the wisdom of Talisman's activities in proceeding with their commercial venture there.
Le sénateur Boudreau: Honorables sénateurs, je transmettrai certainement la question au ministre, mais, comme il l'a dit, si ces conversations ont eu lieu, je serais étonné qu'il n'ait pas exprimé ces vues sur la sagesse des activités commerciales de Talisman au Soudan.
