In the series of e-mails that I mentioned earlier, you said that you wished to “kill” or “dispel” the news stories about the leak. Those words were used four times by you and Ms. Vézina. In an April 18 e-mail, Ms. Vézina said:

Perhaps we do it through a joint press release with the rcmp and the commissioner's office and the dpp (if appropriate)?

I understand the DPP to refer to the Director of Public Prosecutions. Has the Director of Public Prosecutions investigated the leak, and if not, why was the Director of Public Prosecutions mentioned in this e-mail?
