Mr. Chair, I'll be careful about the nature of the briefings I'm giving, but I do believe that it has been said publicly that I have personally briefed Minister Champagne. I have briefed a number of other ministers. I'm saying that with the caveat that I cannot confirm or deny all of the briefings I've given. However, in the context here, it's been said that, yes, I have briefed Minister Champagne directly in the past.
On November 22nd, 2023. See this statement in context.
