Mr. Speaker, as I indicated previously, when the director of CSIS informed me of this very serious matter he indicated to me that the inspector general was investigating the issue. He also informed me that CSIS was investigating the issue. I also was fully aware, because of the mandate, that SIRC had a mandate from the House to evaluate the situation and had access to CSIS files. That is exactly what is taking place.
In the House of Commons on November 18th, 1999. See this statement in context.
