D'ailleurs, quand j'étais ambassadeur, je suis allé voir le ministre des Finances pour lui dire, en tapant du poing sur la table, qu'il devait fournir un financement à l'exportation à la Canadian Steamship Company, qui achetait un navire là-bas et des machines d'usine à papier pour la circonscription d'un ancien premier ministre d'Alberta.
Incidentally, when I was ambassador I went to see the Minister of Finance and pounded on his desk, saying that he had to provide subsidized export financing for Canadian Steamship Company, which was buying a ship there, and for paper mill machines that were going into the riding of a former prime minister in Alberta.
