Thank you for that.
First, the role of the Privy Council Office is to provide non-partisan advice to whatever government is in power. That's their job. That's the role of the clerk. That's the role of every single official in the Privy Council Office. And that applies to every aspect of our daily jobs, whether it's investigations of this sort or anything else.
Secondly, this was a very extensive, independent, comprehensive investigation. I believe--certainly in my time as the Clerk of the Privy Council Office--it's the first time we have engaged an outside firm with the depth and the experience of BMCI to do such a thing. In fact, it's exactly the kind of rigour that I believe the Prime Minister asked us to bring, and also the independence that I insisted on. Mr. Tardif ran the investigation, worked with the two investigators, and the investigators are here today to talk to you. They did the investigation without constraint. The scope was clear. There were no constraints. The findings and conclusions that are in my report, for which I'm accountable, are validated by the investigators.
