Mr. Chair, on a point of order, you've indicated to the committee that you did not speak to any media on this matter until Tuesday evening. I have a message that was conveyed by a member of the media in a public forum on Twitter on May 31, which would have been Monday, a full day, 24 hours, before you claim to have spoken to the press. It says: “Paul Szabo has issued summons to Dimitri Soudas, Jillian Andrews to appear at committee.” So it is clear that you were playing this out in the media before you even gave Mr. Soudas a chance to respond and deal with the matter.
On June 3rd, 2010. See this statement in context.
