Thank you, Madam Chair.
Mr. Minister, this is what you said in your testimony.
“I didn't follow up because I wasn't allowed to.”
You didn't follow up. However, you also said that, the next day,
“I had my staff immediately inform PCO.”
My understanding is that you asked your chief of staff or someone in your office to contact PCO to tell them about the situation. Thank you for that information. That gets us somewhere.
After that, Mr. Minister, did you follow up with PCO or ask your chief of staff to do so to see where the investigation was at?
