As I said in my testimony, in the case of the rumour I received in July 2015, I brought that immediately to the national security adviser. I believe that's the appropriate process. In the case I was dealing with, the NSA had been operationally leading the ad hoc committee process in making recommendations for the selection of the chief of the defence staff. I think the appropriate process in that case was to bring whatever information was received to the responsible officials, ask for investigation and act if necessary.
