Thank you very much.
This was referring to the December 19, 2018 conversation that had been recorded when you told Ms. Wilson-Raybould that Mr. Trudeau was in a kind of a mood and, in her words, wanted to shelve the prosecution of the Montreal-based engineering firm.
These are your words as recorded and distributed: “He's in a pretty firm frame of mind about this though, so I'm a bit worried”. You then went on to say, “I am worried about a collision then because he's pretty firm about this. I just saw him a few hours ago and this is really important to him”.
I raise that, sir, because in the context of previous testimony that you just provided this committee, you talked about feeling intimidated—maybe not you feeling intimidated, but about where that line could be crossed.
However, as was mentioned earlier, when you are sent as a messenger from the Prime Minister's Office and talk about a mood and about a collision course....
What did you mean by that?
