My assumption would be that before you declined to answer on the three areas, you would first have relied upon specific statutory provisions or case law in coming to that conclusion. So my request to you is to please advise us in writing, or provide us with the legal opinion you may have obtained, specifically of the statutory provisions and body of case law you relied upon to turn down the request of the Auditor General to form this conclusion.
The second part of this question is for Mr. Walsh to please comment upon this June 11, 2009, correspondence from you—and maybe you will have to do that in writing, because I'm running out of time—and provide us with your opinion on that.
So the first part is whether you can provide to us now—or maybe you can do it in writing—specifically what you did rely upon in coming to that conclusion by way of statutes and case law.
