The early e-mail I alluded to is one of many examples I have that I would be more than glad to share with you if I have the opportunity to do so.
Clearly, the Prime Minister's department, even Treasury Board, had a lot of communication with you and your department. The impression I'm left with, and it's very clear from the quote I just brought forward to you, for example, is that the government seemed to be interfering with your department and your independence. This is something that was raised as a concern in the Auditor General's report as well.
We're all discussing your severance agreement, and we're all asking why you accepted that and accepted the gag order. That was reinforced again by the Prime Minister, who said today that it was the cheapest and fastest way to make a change. Do you agree with his assessment?
