It sounds like you're on to a conspiracy of some kind.
As I said, in regard to discussions, in terms of who the commissioner talks with when he's not talking with me, I don't have a record of that. I wouldn't want that record. I haven't asked for it. I don't know if officials either at the Prime Minister's Office or the Privy Council Office have talked with Ms. McLellan. I have no idea.
My concern is to make sure Canadians understand that we've taken action since this report has come out. We're following all the recommendations. We want to see the right systems put in place.
The questions you're raising are important, and they're tough questions related to Ms. McLellan and others. I don't think it's a dereliction on my part to say, you know, I'm just not spending all that much time on what she may or may not have said to an official then. My concern is, what's in place now? Do we have a system that's going to work?
As Mr. Comartin said, we never want to see this happen again. Mr. Cotler has reflected that sentiment. Mr. Holland has reflected that sentiment. I think all of us are agreed on one thing around here: we don't want to see this happen again. That's where my focus is, and that's where my energies are.
These are tough questions you're asking, and I'll pass them down the line, but I have to tell you I have so much energy, and it's going to be put first to the safety and security of Canadians.
