Mr. Mulcair, my concern as Attorney General for Canada and Minister of Justice, together with Mr. Gray, for the government side in this civil litigation was to deal with it properly, in keeping with the opinion of our lawyers. Until January 2, the lawyers said we had a case. After it was discovered that the RCMP officer had revealed this information to a third party, they told me we did not. That is why we settled the way we did.
