Commissioner, Mr. Holland went on at some length reading excerpts of testimony before this committee--excerpts that the Parliament of Canada, through its Speaker, has indicated that you cannot take into consideration in your disciplinary proceedings against Ms. George.
What I think you're waiting for is for Parliament to make a decision. We've been advised by our law clerk that the RCMP cannot use any testimony before the committee; however, it can use decisions by Parliament. No such decision has been made. To this point, Ms. George has not been found in contempt of Parliament. If she were to be found in contempt of Parliament, you could consider that as an agency, but as of now, there is not such a finding. Is it therefore your understanding that you cannot discipline her for things she has said in this room as part of proceedings of this parliamentary committee?
