Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I’d like to thank the witnesses for joining us again today.
Let me approach the question from another angle.
Over the years, the Prime Minister has been the focus of a number of allegations, in connection with his trip to the Aga Khan’s, the “Trudeau Report” and the “Trudeau II Report,” among other things.
It appears that these allegations are shaking the public’s confidence in the Prime Minister to some extent, and this is an important aspect. We certainly rely on an organization like the RCMP to help us better understand the situation.
The Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner did not feel it necessary to alert or, at least, to go any further in this matter. He decided not to refer the case to the RCMP. Whether that was a good or bad decision remains to be seen. We don’t know at this point.
Commissioner Duheme, you said two things earlier that struck me. You said that the warrants were limited in scope and that you didn’t have enough evidence to pursue it further.
In essence, was this a non-starter, or did this force the end of an investigation or, on the contrary, were there sufficient grounds to say that you didn’t need to go any further?
