I think it is important that I do comment.
As I indicated in answer to the questions dealing with tabling legislation and whether or not the legislation that goes into the House of Commons is constitutional, we take our duties under the justice act very seriously. We believe fervently in the rule of law. We see it as our duty to give honest, fearless advice to the Government of Canada on all legal matters, and we do.
I think the example we're all pointing to is an isolated example of a situation where these two opinions suddenly arose. I know the lawyers in question, and I believe them to have acted in utmost good faith--each of them. We're not in the business of giving comfort opinions. We give our best advice as fearlessly and as honestly as we can.
I'm sorry that you and I disagree, but I believe very deeply what I just said.
