Rahim Jaffer Conservative Edmonton Strathcona, AB

No, but I guess I have no choice here. I already declared earlier when I said that this reporter came into my office on Friday and had a copy of the report. I wasn't planning on talking to him about that. We had other issues we were discussing, but obviously that was the clear indication he wanted to talk about that report.

So I didn't leak it. He had it.

The Chair Conservative Norman Doyle

Yes, and the chair wishes to make it unanimous. So that makes the motion moot. Is that the term?

All in favour of the motion, then?

Okay, so we'll carry on with the other members of the committee when they arrive.

Right now we're at the point where the analyst has made certain changes in the report. We will suspend for a moment to go back in camera.
