Not being a lawyer myself, on the face of it, it looks similar to section 139 of the Criminal Code, which states that “Every one who wilfully attempts in any manner to obstruct, pervert or defeat the course of justice in a judicial proceeding” is guilty of obstruction of justice.

Those are not your words, sir. That is my reading of the section from the Criminal Code.

The reason I bring it up is that I'm wondering if you are able to tell the committee if you were ever in contact with the RCMP regarding the Trudeau II Report.
