But again, I'm arguing about how the government handled the file in a secretive manner and then designed it so that it could get around the US courts ruling on compensation to Speers widow and the Sergeant who lost an eye.
There's a reason why the Liberals timed this for Parliament to be out of session and the Prime Minster was out of town. But I believe that there have to be questions asked about the governments handling of this file.

In particulars of loss you would typically list your absolute best case scenario award. As you can always go lower, but it's very difficult to go higher.
So yes, him filing a lawsuit for 21 million is meaningless.
