Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Ms. Drouin and Mr. Wernick, for reappearing before this committee. It's been very helpful.
My first question is for Madame Drouin. On pages 10 and 11 of your opening remarks, it says that you were told by a policy adviser in the Attorney General's office that “the Attorney General was not keen on the idea of exercising her authorities under the DPP Act.”
To me, when I look at the date, the day this would have happened and the day you were informed of this was two days after the notice had been issued. Was any reason provided to you as to why the Attorney General did not wish to exercise her authority under the DPP Act?
