I do not think the member for
Victoria Park should jump to that conclusion, because I have not done that.
Mr
B.S. Wyatt : You guaranteed —
Dr
M.D. NAHAN : No, I have not done that. I thought the member would ask that,
because it was in the media somewhere. That request has not come to me. I have
not approved it because I have not seen it. I do not know where the member got
this. It is in the media.
Mr
B.S. Wyatt interjected.
Dr
M.D. NAHAN : The member made a statement that I approved something and I am
telling the member that I did not.
