Thank you very much, Mr. Poilievre.
I've been listening very carefully to the question. Mr. Poilievre is right that the law of parliamentary privilege would preclude the commissioner and anyone in the RCMP from using the evidence given by Ms. George before this committee. However, they can use the decisions, if they so desire, of the committee in a report to the House.
So I certainly find the question in order. But again, I reiterate that the evidence given by any witness, including Deputy Commissioner George, is not to be part of a formal code of conduct proceeding—or any other proceeding, for that matter—but the actual decision of the committee could, if the authorities so chose, be taken into consideration and given whatever weight they deem necessary.
