I thank you for that clarification as well, Minister.

Back in March, I asked you about the use of the notwithstanding clause, and at that time you used the word “scuttlebutt”, and then when it was raised in the House, you alleged that it was the Liberal Party that had used it.

In light of the losing streak that the government's on in front of the Supreme Court of Canada, do you stand by your statement that you have not asked your officials to contemplate the use of the notwithstanding clause?
