Thank you, Chair.
Thank you for being here this morning, Mr. Bruce and Mr. Rimmer.
In the news lately, I think we've all been watching with great interest the hearings into what's happening in Afghanistan, the whole issue of prisoner transfers, issues of torture. In those hearings before another standing committee, a senior public servant has indicated that he received advice to stop documenting his reports by e-mail and to start doing that verbally. Would you see that as a violation of the directive on recordkeeping, if that kind of advice was offered within a department to stop sending written messages or providing written documentation and, instead, moving to verbal recommendations or documentation?
