I wouldn't want to debate that issue, but it would seem to me that in the position you were in, given that the press was reporting what they were reporting, whether it was accurate or factual or not, given issues surrounding the leaks, given all of the concerns that we're now hearing, and given the indignant approach that has been taken toward the authorities—the RCMP, CSIS, and others—someone should have been telling you to ask the commissioner and to ask these people where the leaks were, whether there was any truth in these matters, and what you needed to do to go forward. Without getting into the areas that Mr. O'Connor ultimately got into, in that whole timeframe there had to be questions that were coming forward.
