Thanks very much, Julie. I appreciate the attempt at help there.

Multiple times at the committee we've heard you give answers that aren't clear, sir, in looking both to use up time and to be unclear in what it is that you're trying to say.

We've seen the text messages that you were concerned about, throwing a minister under the bus, and you and Cameron MacDonald getting your stories straight. Why was that your priority instead of just simply telling the truth to parliamentarians who were asking you questions?
