Yes. Thank you, Chair.
I'm sad to have to raise this issue, but it's clear to each of us that the contents of the discussion that took place yesterday during the in camera portion were leaked to the media immediately after the commissioner left the room and while the meeting was still going on. I believe this is a serious breach of our privileges as members of Parliament. I have 16 years of serving in government in an elected position, and if we cannot trust the confidence of an in camera meeting, it will cripple the ability of this committee to operate. There has to be trust. There has to be respect for confidential documents and confidential meetings.
I asked Ms. Fraser if she was aware of any member of this committee breaching the contents of the in camera portion of the meeting, revealing the information that she shared in confidence. She answered yes, that she made her announcement at three o'clock. She said she had received a document entitled...it was 12:58, I think; mine shows 12:59. It was already out. There was an article in The Globe and Mail under the name of Bill Curry as the reporter who reported in detail.
We have to be able to trust one another. I would first ask if somebody did leak the document, to share that with the committee at this time. That would be my first question, Mr. Chair.
