I do not know how the subject has got to the point it has. I am sort of at a loss, quite frankly. At a complete loss, and if I have offended anybody by not being in the Great Hall when I was trying to, on behalf of the constituency of the north, on behalf of this government, to convince the banks that this is a good place to invest, I apologize. It was not by invitation. It was just a continuing discussion with respect to the technical briefings that we have been giving the banks in an effort to persuade them, and they are listening to us right now, in an effort to persuade them to continue to invest in this country and help us build our infrastructure. Now, I do not know what I did wrong, but if I have done something wrong, I will say again, I apologize, but I thought the exercise was to show some maturity, some stability and to welcome them. It was not an MLA/Legislative Assembly thing. It was a technical exercise. That is all, nothing else.
