Mr. Speaker, I was very clear that the considerations were innocent people and the consideration of those innocent people is a primary responsibility of the Prime Minister.
I also was, I hope, clear in saying that while there was a constant conversation, a series of conversations, 10 in person and 10 by email, about reconsidering, rethinking, getting different legal opinions and making sure that all of the information that was possibly there was there to be considered. That is not improper, and it is not improper for the Prime Minister to have to balance these competing interests.
Absolutely obey the law but considering all the options available under the law is equally an opportunity and responsibility given to the Prime Minister and to this government to make sure that a good decision is made in the right way within the boundaries as spelled out by the hon. member opposite.
