Mr. Chair, when we looked at this, we followed the elements of the offence. We looked at each of the two offences that were before us. We looked at these, and then we tried to determine if each of these elements was met. As we proceeded through this, one of the critical elements in the offence of obstruction of justice is, of course, intent to obstruct the course of justice. Of course, we conducted interviews in order to really assess the information in that regard.
