If there is a concern that somehow Staff Sergeant Mike Frizzell was silenced by whatever happened, I can assure you that he wrote a key part of the final report that was submitted. He led the contracts portion of the investigation. The contracts portion of the investigation was that part that was scrutinized by the forensic auditor. So his report was included, given to me, and that was part of the information that was tabled with the RCMP commissioner at the time. I just want to add that, if there is concern that he was somehow muzzled.
Certainly there was no cover-up through any of this. And I can tell you that where the evidence has taken us...previously where we have done criminal investigations of members of the RCMP, criminal charges have been laid where that's appropriate. In this particular case, we consulted with the crown attorney. We had the benefit of an independent forensic audit and the conduct did not meet the threshold.
Regardless, all of the acts, anything related to mismanagement, all of the things we've talked about here today were fully documented and included in the report that both the Auditor General and the RCMP have had access to.
