Mr. Speaker, I want to reiterate what the Public Prosecution Service of Canada said, that every decision was made independently.
I want to quote from the statement that was released. It states:
No other factors were considered in this decision, nor was there any contact or influence from outside the PPSC, including political influence in either the initial decision to prosecute Mr. Norman or in the decision to stay the charge today.
General Vance, the chief of the defence staff, will be meeting with Vice-Admiral Norman, and then we will be talking about the next steps.
