“Participate in” might not be the right word. I do have the great privilege of sitting in cabinet meetings at a table to the side of the room.
In terms of Minister Sajjan and whether he and I spoke to this at the time, no, I don't believe we did.
His office contacted us on his behalf immediately, and we then immediately followed up, or had the Privy Council follow up, rather, to give him the advice that he was seeking.
