I've spent a lot of time reading material on the topic of this, the Shawcross convention and all of these issues and legal doctrines. I am not a lawyer, but I use them a lot. I am in no position to give this committee legal advice. You have excellent law clerks and people who can come and appear.
My conclusion, as somebody who spends a lot of time in governance, is I do not see where the former attorney general was a solicitor. The matter was never discussed at cabinet, never. So she was not giving advice to cabinet. She was not advising the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister said at every occasion, verbally and in writing, she was the decider. So she was not giving legal advice to the Prime Minister. She was the decider, the full and final decider. She can't be the fettered solicitor and the battered decider—in that horrible, vile cartoon—at the same time. It's one or the other.
