Thank you, Chair.
First of all, I just wanted to say that accusations were made that the committee was trying to silence the minister. I have to say on the record that I disagree with that completely. We've heard from the minister, we appreciated that the minister came to committee, and we could recall the minister. There's no attempt today to silence the minister.
Mr. Sparrow, when you've reported to the PMO that you've approved a sensitive or what you have identified as a political request for information from the media, do you notify your minister that you've reported that to the PMO?
