Thank you, Chair.
Thank you, Ms. McLellan, for being here.
I have some serious concerns about the fact that the whole focus seems to be to blame officials for whatever went wrong. I would suggest to you—and I think you would probably concur—that your role and the cabinet's role in government is to provide governance to those agencies that report upwards to us, right?
While that was going on, obviously there was a lot of press and there must have been some discussions within cabinet. I look to my friend Mr. Cotler across the table. He's a learned individual. He was the Minister of Justice. You had lots of people at that table who could have raised questions and provided questions to you that should have gone back down to the officials we're now criticizing. Did that ever occur?
