I understand.

Can I talk a little about the OPP and the Ottawa Police Service investigation? I'm really troubled by this.

I want to put this to you. As a QC, a Queen's Counsel lawyer with a distinguished career, how shocked were you when you discovered what you discovered about the Ottawa Police Service? What are the three reasons you gave to justify your conclusion that the investigation was not independent? I'd like to know not only how shocked you were, but why would the Canadian people believe that punting it to the OPP would now make any different whatsoever?
