Thank you. That's sufficient, because I read your statement, which covered that. I'd like to ask another question, if I may.
According to section 25 of the act you administered:
The Commissioner may delegate to any employee in the Office of the Public Sector Integrity Commissioner any of his or her powers and duties under this Act, except: (a) the power to delegate under this section; (b) the power to decide not to deal with a complaint filed under subsection 19.1(1)
--which is the section that deals with complaints related to reprisals. Yet we have a matrix from the AG that shows that no fewer than eight times, other staff members signed off, closing files.
The committee that was to oversee your operations was the government operations committee, chaired by coalition member Pat Martin, and I'll read this quotation, in case you haven't heard it before:
“I accept some of the blame for that as the vice-chair of the oversight committee that was supposed to be watching Christiane Ouimet. Report after report after report came by our committee without comment.”
Did the government operations committee ever ask you why staff were closing off files?
