Thank you for the opportunity to put this on the record. That never happened.
I can elaborate on that answer, if you wish, but that never happened. I have known the former attorney general for almost 15 years. I was the deputy minister at what was then called Indian and Northern Affairs for eight. We walked the path together for many years through many episodes in the journey towards indigenous reconciliation. I considered her a partner, an ally and a friend, and I would have too much respect for a minister of the Crown to rebuke someone.
That is from an anonymous source about a conversation that would have been between me and the minister, and I'm telling you it did not happen.
