I would reiterate what the minister said in his opening statement and maybe add a bit of detail.
The investigative powers of the minister to conduct reviews don't require the triggering of a special measure. In this case, I can certainly confirm, for example, that our review was longer than the 45 days prescribed by the statute. When we become informed of something, whether through press reports or otherwise, we have the ability to actually start looking at it. I'm not really in a position to get into the specifics of when I talked to the minister and when I didn't. I think most members can appreciate that. However, I can certainly say that we were reviewing this for some time. It was certainly over a period of months. It was not just confined to the 45-day period. As a matter of course, because we do this for sensitive transactions, certainly the minister and the government were informed.
We were working with our allies in other ministries as well, as we do in any security review.
