In any investigation, section 49 is always present in our minds, because facts evolve. These investigations take several months.
In relation to the “Trudeau II Report”, Michael Aquilino, who is with me, did a preliminary analysis of whether there were reasonable grounds to believe an offence to another act of Parliament was involved, and came to the conclusion that there wasn't such a situation.
Throughout the investigation, we always had the question present in our minds, because it's an absolute duty to do that. At no point did I feel that I had reasonable grounds to believe that the Prime Minister had committed an offence to any other statute. Therefore, I did not refer the matter to the RCMP.
