Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Minister, for being here.
I think you know what I'm going to ask you, Minister, so let's just get right to it, shall we?
In the audio recording, the commissioner said that she “flew it up the flagpole” because it was a request from the minister's office: “I shared with the minister that in fact it was going to be in the news release”.
Now, you directly refuted this in committee. How do you explain that?
