Thank you very much, Chair.
Thank you so much for your presentation this morning.
I want to start at perhaps a more general level. As you know, when the Speaker makes a prima facie finding of privilege, that is what is referred to our committee. We have three responsibilities in that regard. Our first one, of course, is to confirm whether there is in fact a finding of privilege. And then it's incumbent on us to identify the culprit. Then our third task is to explore possible remedies to the breach.
I'm looking for some guidance here. It seems to me, although I don't want to prejudge the work of the committee, that all of us feel very strongly about the principle that all of us need to be free from threats or any kinds of attempts to intimidate us in our work as members of Parliament. I think we will likely be able to come to agreement on that fairly quickly.
It's not as clear to me how we go about identifying a culprit in this case. I recognize that this is also not unusual, and that in lots of other points of privilege we've been in that situation where culprits haven't in fact been identified. But I wonder whether you could give us some guidance in terms of how you think we ought to be framing our investigation here as committee members to actually take our responsibility with respect to the second and third referrals to us seriously, and how to do our work effectively, both with respect to identifying the culprit and then, in that context, how we pursue remedies.
