At this point, Mr. Auger, maybe you can just confirm with the directions you've been given by policing authorities who are responsible for the custody of Mr. Schreiber whether there are any restrictions on him having his papers with him while he is no longer in the custody of Parliament on the Hill here. Could you advise him on whether he has...or make a consultation right now? We'll take the time for you to get the answer to that question. Advise him so we can be absolutely sure that once he leaves here, no matter where he's going, and is required to go, that he will have access....
In fact the order, the Speaker's warrant, is clear. It says that Mr. Schreiber has “access to any place to retrieve any necessary document as may be needed”. That means he specifically is authorized by this Speaker's warrant to go to his home to get the papers and all the documents he needs, so that he is satisfied that he has what he needs to be able to come here to give fulsome answers to the questions that are posed to him.
Could you please make that inquiry right now of whatever authorities? And if it's not possible to do within the next few moments, I will suspend this meeting until you get an answer for this committee.
Thank you.
Go ahead.
