Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Ms. Maynard, for being here today. We always love having you here at committee, whether it's at ethics or government operations.
I'll start by picking up on something my colleagues have been talking about, and that's deleting text messages. I doubt that anybody is going to request the grocery list that Mr. McCauley sent to his assistant over the phone in a text message and that later got deleted, or what have you. I really appreciated what you said: I think common sense is, or should be, more common than what my colleagues seem to think. You generally know what to delete and what not to delete, I would think. Our government does operate in an honour system. We trust one another to do the right thing and to do right by Canadians.
Building on that, I also hear that as technology evolves, you can't really delete any texts. You can't fully delete emails. Is that something you would be able to get access to?
