Mr. Chairman, once again, just like at the last meeting, we're faced with a very difficult situation. We have here people who have sworn an oath and who are presenting contradictory testimony to the committee. Again, this highlights the importance of the motion adopted at our last meeting which calls on the committee to request a public inquiry from the Minister of Public Security, in order to get to the bottom of this matter. Twice now we've heard this testimony. I'd like us to continue making use of the time available to us, but it's very important that we move in the direction of a public inquiry.
Ms. Burton, Ms. Revine presented us with some documents showing that after she was laid off, you apparently signed a contract worth in excess of $700,000 with the firm of Deloitte & Touche to review staffing services.
Did you in fact contract the services of a private firm for a job that Ms. Revine could have carried out herself?
