Thank you very much, Chair. My question is for the Comptroller General, Mr. St-Jean, with respect to his opening remarks.
Basically, I'm looking at your paragraph 7, where you indicate that legal advice was sought because of the notion that there was a need for supplementary estimates and that the legal advice was sought from the Department of Justice in early February, due to the nature of this particular liability.
Is this the first time such a liability has come up, where legal advice was sought? Is this the first time this course of action was taken?
