Mr. Minister, there are two elements. One is that you didn't answer the question of why all media requests that came into the RCMP were directed to your office. Perhaps you could comment on that.
Before you do, you said that Commissioner Zaccardelli informed you that he would be appearing in front of this committee and discussed that with you. Commissioner Zaccardelli has just finished telling this committee that he didn't have conversations with you about these matters and how he was going to be handling this issue.
I'm wondering as well if you could talk about any written communications you would have received from the commissioner in the last nine days and any discussions you would have had with respect to handling this, both in front of the committee and with the media.
