Thank you, David.
Thank you, Chair.
Minister, forgive me if I'm a bit confused. Let's circle back.
At committee, whenever a minister pleads the Canadian equivalent of the fifth amendment, we all sort of perk up a little bit and wonder what's going on.
There were two mandates. The first mandate, the previous one, said that your government was committed to electoral reform and to bringing in a new voting system before the next election. The second mandate says, “Not so much. We're going to break that commitment. We're doing something else.”
You were brought into cabinet on the 10th of January. Correct?
Okay.
Cabinet got together later in January, on the 24th and 25th, and you made public your new mandate letter on the 1st of February.
Do I have everything right so far?
