You were asked the question whether there was any collusion. The RCMP weren't brought in. But either there was something crooked going on...and if the answer to that is “No, there isn't”, then you have an incompetent staff person. Is this the only file that they were incompetent on?
Deputy?
That's the question I would ask. If somebody screwed up that badly—didn't do anything illegal but was that incompetent that they were doing all this stuff—what about other files they were dealing with? Surely you would think that if they are that incompetent on A, they would be on B, C, D, E, and F, or on one of them.
