Thank you, Madam Chair.
It's nice to see you here, Minister.
I used to speak to you in English, but today I will ask my questions in French. I will speak slowly.
Mr. Blair, we're familiar with the Conservative's questions, which seek to undermine your credibility. We know full well that it's impossible to request a briefing before finding out that information even exists.
I'd like to ask some questions about your experience serving Canadians. For 39 years, you served the public as the chief of police of Toronto. You started as a constable and then became the chief of police. You have held other positions since then. I met you in 2010. You have always been a leader in maintaining public confidence. That's our experience of the honourable Bill Blair.
In light of the allegations relating to this intimidation campaign, could you explain to members how your commitment to transparency and public service have guided your actions since you learned this information on May 1, 2023? Could you tell us about your experience and transparency?
