Mr. Chair, as I stated, I was fully aware that my speech was being filmed by the CBC. When I arrived, I was asked if I would agree to answer any questions. That was not part of my action plan and it is not something that I do on a regular basis. I delivered my speech and then they started asking me questions. I honestly forgot I was being filmed during the question period. It is as simple as that. As I have already said, I regret it. But I will repeat that I have said nothing that would put national security in jeopardy. My only regret is that my words were quoted. We have discussed it to death.
Mr. Chair, I was trying to hold a meeting with the military and police officers who were expecting some details. So I talked to them a little.
