Mr. Speaker, my hon. friend's question is wrong. Mr. Toole in his affidavit said very clearly that he heard nothing from the solicitor general that indicated that he had a role in determining the outcome of the APEC commission. Mr. Toole went on to say “nothing in our conversation suggested to me that Mr. Scott knew what the outcome of the APEC commission would be”. My hon. friend's premise is wrong and his question is off base as well.
In the House of Commons on November 19th, 1998. See this statement in context.
