Mr. Chair, it wasn't panicking about Global News. I had been told and contacted by Global News previously that Global News was working on a story in relation to ongoing litigation with Global Health Imports, that the linkage between Minister Boissonnault...he was still listed as a partner within the Alberta filings and it had not been removed, but it was removed from the federal filings. Based on the litigation that was going on with the Ghaoui Group, on our advice of counsel we were instructed not to speak to them.
On July 17th, 2024. See this statement in context.
