Ms. Keen, I now understand why the government didn't want you to speak at our last meeting. Your presentation is concise, compelling, and very clear.
Not so clear is Minister Lunn's appreciation of the important principle of independence. He can verbalize it; he can talk it, as he did on December 10 in the House of Commons when he said the commission is absolutely independent of government. That was his phrasing. But when I look at his behaviour during the previous week, his actions that week were totally inconsistent with what he said on December 10.
As I understand it, he telephoned you on December 5.
