Mr. Chair, I have a small point of order.
The honourable member indicated that as a lobbyist my job is to pass on privileged information that I have attained. That is not my job as a lobbyist; it is to give good counsel and wise counsel to my clients to ensure they are able to navigate the waters of government.
What I can tell you is in the management of my e-mails that day, the very fact that I believed I'd received a publicly available document I think bolsters my claim that I believed it was not time-sensitive. I believed I had time to review it if it was a document that was inappropriate or confidential. Others acted in very different ways when they knew it to be a different document. I did not act in that manner, I believe, because I believed it was publicly available information and therefore I didn't feel it was time-sensitive.
