Do you want to address that?
I'll start and then I want to turn it over to the legal counsel, Mr. Steven Chaplin, the parliamentary counsel.
You're protected by the law of Parliament and it's called “parliamentary privilege”, which basically states that anything you say cannot be used against you in any other proceedings. I should further point out that this committee has in the past protected its privileges, and will in the future protect its privileges, if that is going on in any proceeding outside of Parliament.
For a more definitive legal explanation, I'll turn the matter over to Mr. Chaplin for his explanation.
Sir.
