We do not lay charges, the investigators do. In the case of the sponsorship inquiry, I believe that it was the RCMP and the Sûreté du Québec who conducted the investigation. It was the Attorney General of Quebec who instituted legal proceedings against the individuals involved in the sponsorship scandal. We did not act as an attorney in this case.
You asked whether or not the attorney could rely on Justice Gomery's report. The answer is no. The investigators tried to dismiss the evidence presented to Justice Gomery and the evidence on which they had based their charges. That is a principle of law. When someone is compelled to testify against his own interest, we cannot rely on this evidence for the purposes of a charge.
