I understand that ultimately, if you discover any suspicions or any evidence of criminality, you must report not to the RCMP directly but rather to the Attorney General—in this case the Liberal Attorney General—who is not independent in the role as Minister of Justice: He is the Liberal Minister of Justice. Do you think, given all the evidence that you may or may not be aware of, that the Liberal team, led by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, actually blocked the ability of the Auditor General to even start an assessment into the audit with respect to the arrive scam issue? Do you think, given all the efforts and attempts by the Liberal bench to block access to information, that you would be in a position to completely bypass the Attorney General and actually report directly to Parliament so that Canadians, and not necessarily the Liberal government, can be aware of your concerns? Would you have the legislative authority to report to the House?
