I still find it surprising, because the allegations against General Vance are serious, and you are the Prime Minister's chief of staff.
His chief of staff contacted you. It seems to me that it's a cumbersome process to have to wait your turn in line, when he could have interacted directly with you.
At the time when the Privy Council Office was unable to get information, did you ever think to ask Mr. Sajjan to meet with the ombudsman? He refused any meeting afterwards and refused to read the documents.
Did you not recommend that he read the documents?
