Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Wernick, as stated earlier, we're here today because of a motion asking the committee to look into why the RCMP didn't further investigate the case. As you know, we met with the RCMP commissioner and the person in charge of the investigation.
I'll refer to a question that we all asked you indirectly earlier and that concerns cabinet confidence. Believe me, I understand the need for cabinet confidence. It means that we can have candid discussions and share our opinions without fear of having our heads torn off. We see eye to eye on this. Now, I would like to know the rationale for your decision, at the time, to withhold documents.
