Very quickly, this is actually the nub of what we're spending our time on at this committee right at the moment. We have allegations...
I'm sorry, General. I recognize that I'm making a statement here that you might not be able to respond to in your professional capacity. We are dealing here with allegations from a politically motivated opposition, who are trying to say the government has been doing something that borders on war crimes, or are war crimes. You have made the statement that you would not, and cannot, do anything that would be contrary, or you would not be able to respond to an unlawful command.
I further cannot imagine that any of the advisers to you or to the government would countenance that, either. In other words, there is a lot of speculation that my friends have volunteered to disseminate and to bring to the fore. There's a whole pile of information just spinning around here, but when we get down to the nub of it, we have professional people like yourself, a professional army, and professional bureaucrats doing a job for Canada, and with the full knowledge and consent of the Canadian government. The two are the same thing.
Your comment today really underscored this whole issue that the army will not do anything that would be in response to an unlawful command. That's been very helpful. I thank you for that.
