As I indicated in my statement, the ad hoc committee process was led by the national security adviser, a senior position in the Privy Council; the Clerk of the Privy Council; and the deputy minister of national defence. The committee included the Minister of National Defence and the deputy chief of staff in the Prime Minister's Office. Those were the individuals involved in the ad hoc committee search process.
On March 22nd, 2021. See this statement in context.
