Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I'm at a loss trying to understand what's going on here, because we have serious allegations on the record by the chief superintendent, Mr. Lewis, and others, which are refuted by Mr. Zaccardelli.
Mr. Zaccardelli, you just mentioned a minute ago that there was no police investigation back in 2003. Yet the Auditor General specifically mentions that the RCMP initiated a criminal investigation on June 23, 2003, which you stopped two days later.
Why do you say there was no criminal investigation?
