Mr. Chair, I rise on a point of order. I would advise the committee that I had a discussion with the Minister of Justice and he informed me that what Ms. Keen has said is not correct. In fact, Department of Justice officials are available for legal advice to the committee. The only advice from justice was that she might want to seek independent legal advice over and above the typical advice.
In the House of Commons on December 11th, 2007. See this statement in context.
