Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Commissioner, retired officer Garry Loeppky, and Assistant Commissioner Darrell LaFosse.
Assistant Commissioner LaFosse, in your opening statement you basically answered a few of the questions I had been intending to put to you. You were unequivocal that although your communication was short—you specified it was about a minute—it was absolutely clear what the communications intent from Deputy Commissioner George to you was. The error she committed was assuming that you were responsible for Staff Sergeant Frizzell.
My question then becomes this. You made a very clear statement, and in my questioning of Deputy Commissioner George I clearly asked questions surrounding the removal of Mr. Frizzell, to which she replied unequivocally. She made it absolutely clear she had nothing whatsoever to do with the removal of Mr. Frizzell and then afterwards, in her testimony, went even further in saying that she had heard something about its having to do with health reasons. Did you hear, watch, or perhaps read the transcripts of that public accounts committee meeting? What was your reaction? What did you say after seeing Deputy Commissioner George's statements when she was asked these questions?
