Thank you.
Let me address a couple of things that you raised in your answer.
You said there were no minutes of the meeting. You are also aware that there is, included in the package in preparation for this meeting, an email from Sophie Hart to Robin Kells, which reads:
Here are the minutes of the meeting between NDP (Jess Turk-Browne), HRS (Christian Boileau) and FS (Nathalie Charpentier)....
So that would address that point that you made, sir.
As for the next point, you referenced an email of September 22 from Marie-Dominique Sicé to Christian. You conveniently, sir, did not reference the response. The response was on October 7. Christian Boileau to Marie-Dominique Sicé, the email that you referenced in your response, sir, says:
In the email below it is indicated that the employees all work in Montreal. On the employment forms we received for the 9 employees, it is indicated they all work in Ottawa. Can you please confirm their work location?
It was that exchange of emails, sir, that gave rise to the October 13th meeting, the October 13th meeting in which Jess Turk-Browne indicated that these employees worked in Ottawa.
So let me come now to the Clerk of the House of Commons. Again in that same memorandum, the Clerk of the House of Commons says:
At no point was the House administration informed that the employees would be located in Montreal or that their work would be carried out in co-location with a political party’s offices....
What you just said in your answer, and what Audrey O'Brien just said, cannot both be true. Which is it, sir?
