Public Accounts committee  Mr. Chair, on that particular issue I did ask, after Mr. Estabrooks' testimony, the current officer in charge of ATIP to provide a written summary from the folks who were in the office at that time when Deputy Commissioner Gauvin's executive assistant came out; that was on the 20th.

Public Accounts committee  As far as the reference to the memos is concerned, I didn't become aware of that particular information until preparing for this committee appearance. I had some discussions with Superintendent Lavoie shortly after the Gauvin memo, I believe on the 21st. I asked Mr. Estabrooks to send the file back to legal service for a final review.

Public Accounts committee  Well, again, the conversations that I had with Superintendent Lavoie were around the frustration with getting this thing moved forward. As I stated, I was fully supportive of his position on this. What we did discuss, as a final step, was identifying those individuals who were part of the criminal investigation, those individuals who were named in the internal investigation, so that the reviewers could have some reference.

Public Accounts committee  It is my understanding now, after reviewing material, that it was about three and a half or four months.

Public Accounts committee  Well, again, I can't speak to legal services.

Public Accounts committee  I, Mr. Bernie Corrigan, do swear that the evidence I shall give on this examination shall be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help me God.
