If we go to take a look at that report, I believe that is also the report that says of the $712 million that were in that account at the end of 1996, only $12 to $13 million were actually in the account based on what the account was set up for, and that the balance, the other 98 percent of the money had found its way into this account with no relationship to the intended purpose of this account. Is that accurate?

If (the referendum) is going to be influenced by governments, it’s going to be influenced by the government of Alberta and by the federal government, and maybe the other provinces, but not by the United States government.
Compared to a provincial government and Canadian taxpayers running (political) ads in the United States of America? You’re equating those two? C’mon, that’s not even close!
You get calls and request to meet with folks and… if they’re people that are working on issues that may have an impact on U.S. relations, there’s a good chance we’ll meet with them, just to get some kind of perspective.
I thought the Ontario ad campaign was outrageous, calling it the first time in the U.S.’s 250-year history that a foreign government has tried to influence the outcome of upcoming elections.
