Thank you very much, Ms. Sherman. I want to thank you for your many years of public service and for your testimony here today.
I'd just like [Technical difficulty—Editor] in your testimony that depending on what the results would have been that you were to find out, you could have launched a third party investigation. You could have referred even to the military police or to any other sources and, ultimately, you could have removed the chief of the defence staff because it's a GIC appointment. Is it safe to say, then, that when it comes to an allegation like this, your office—the Privy Council Office—was the proper independent authority?
