Mr. Speaker, I would like to begin by saying that my colleague's French is excellent. She expresses herself very well in French and I would like to congratulate her.
As I was saying earlier, when the former attorney general testified, she stated that the Prime Minister told her that the decision was hers to make. That is important because it was up to her to make it.
She also stated that the staff of the Prime Minister's Office said that it did not want to cross any lines. She even added that it was appropriate to discuss any job impacts and to consider a series of factors. Ultimately, the former attorney general made the decision not to move forward and, in our view, it is clear that the law was obeyed at every step of the process.
