Thank you all. I should note, by the way, that this committee passed the motion on this subject matter without a witness list less than 48 hours ago, and all the witnesses agreed to come before the committee on such short notice. We appreciate your time and the speed at which you responded to this committee and for coming before us and providing us with the documents.
The clerk has a copy of the report. It can be circulated to the committee members, I hope.
I guess I'll start some questions with Mr. Lynch. During the course of your review, did the Prime Minister or his chief of staff ever try to influence the outcome in any way, or contact you during the course of your review?
