I think Paul Martin doesn't mean what he says. He said he would clear this sort of thing up and he didn't do it.
Some promises aren’t worth keeping.
I've been looking at some video clips on YouTube of President Obama - then candidate Obama - going through Iowa making promises. The gap between his promises and his performance is the largest I've seen, well, since the Kardashian wedding and the promise of 'til death do we part.
Yesterday's promise, like tomorrow's never comes.
It's scary how easy promises were broken.

Promises and pie-crust are made to be broken.
We see young men who owe us a new world, so readily and lavishly they promise, but they never acquit the debt; they die young anddodge the account: or if they live, they lose themselves in the crowd.
Bad promises are better broken than kept.
