Thank you very much, Chair.
I want to echo the comments of my colleague and thank you for coming on such short notice.
I want to speak regarding the priorities you outline in your opening remarks on the estimates as well, and I want clarification on the specific matter I'm currently working on, which is—I've written to the clerk about this as well—the “NAFTA-gate” issue that has emerged. As we all know, that's a very serious issue. There were these leaks, verbal and a memo, that came out and really compromised our position vis-à-vis the U.S. Trust was breached and damage was done, and many Americans and Canadians are concerned about this. So I was asked to write about this, or I felt I was compelled to write about this, to the clerk to get further clarification, knowing that he is currently looking into the investigation.
In your third priority, you indicate that it's to support management and accountability of government. Now, would that investigation fall under this particular priority in terms of the internal investigation that's taking place with regard to these diplomatic leaks and the verbal leaks?
