Madam Speaker, either the hon. member chooses not to listen or he really misses the point entirely. I have said several times that the law does not permit me to state whether even a conversation took place between the Canada Revenue Agency and any church, whether it is the United Church or any other church. It would be a logical fallacy to assume that simply because one church states that a conversation occurred that no conversation occurred with other churches, because those other churches may have decided not to report such conversations.
In all such hypothetical conversations my lips are sealed, because I must obey the law. The law prohibits me not only from describing any such conversation but even from saying whether any conversation with any church ever took place.
