Mr. Chair, as I have stated before, I regret that Vice-Admiral Norman had to go through this. I can understand how difficult it must have been for him and his family, but it is also important to note that the entire process has been completely independent, as I stated and as has been verified by the prosecution and the defence. We needed to make sure that we respected his service and that we respected the actual process within Canada.
When the situation changed, the criteria were met, and I have authorized the reimbursement of the legal fees.
