I only came in when the gag order was in place, and it was one of our principal concerns. It was April Fool's Day, April 1, 2005, and we were given a comprehensive briefing. We were told at that time we were not permitted to share that advice, that information, with our membership, that it was under cabinet confidentiality. And that was frustrating, because three of us were being briefed, and we had a working committee set up, ready, that had been providing information and they were asking what happened--you got a briefing, so where are we going?
On November 27th, 2006. See this statement in context.
