Mr. Speaker, what I can say in response to that question is that the investigation was handled by the RCMP.
The decision to prosecute was made by the director herself. The decision to stay the charges was made by the director herself. I want to highlight the comments of Mr. Norman's counsel once again. She said:
The decision to stay this prosecution was discretion exercised by prosecutors and the DPP, unimpacted by any political considerations, as it should be.
She further underscored that that is in fact how things are supposed to work. I agree with her assessment.
