Thank you, Chair.
With all due respect to my colleagues, some of them may use arguments that a broader mandate in this committee might prejudice court proceedings and the subsequent inquiry. As witnesses at this committee will enjoy the same freedom of speech as members of Parliament, pursuant to the Bill of Rights of 1689, I'd like your legal opinions that evidence given by those witnesses before this committee could not be used to impeach a witness, or used in any way before the actual inquiry.
