I also pointed out to the Speaker that there was a remedy available to the candidate in this case, going to court, and that I would advise the Speaker as soon as such remedy was filed in court, which I did. Again, the point here, as I mentioned in my introduction, is whether it's up to the Chief Electoral Officer to determine the question of privilege or to this committee and the House. I believe it's up to the committee and the House to determine how this matter should be addressed.
