Procedure and House Affairs committee  Thank you. Would you agree to provide the committee with all emails and memos in an unredacted state concerning the approvals of those drafts?

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Thank you. Respecting the changes to the publications on May 30 after Mr. Motz's May 29 question of privilege, can you walk us through, please, what prompted the changes?

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Thank you very much again, Deputy Commissioner and Director, for being here today. Who drafted the publications that have brought us here today?

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Okay. Who approves the text of those publications?

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Okay, Director, who was the most senior official director to approve the publications?

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Okay. Is this always the most senior level at which special business bulletins are signed off?

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Is this the usual approval process for publications about pending legislation and if not, what would the usual approval process for publications about pending legislation be?

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Do your public safety department officials play any role in reviewing portfolio agencies' publications about your legislative initiatives, Minister?

Procedure and House Affairs committee  What role do you personally play, Minister, in government publications with regard to legislative proposals you are sponsoring?

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Did you or your personal staff play any role in this government publication specifically, in addition to other bills before Parliament? Maybe you could comment on government publications in general and the role that you and your personal staff play on bills before Parliament, but also on this specific information that was improperly published.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Okay. Then you deny absolutely that you or your staff had any role in reviewing or approving the RCMP documents that have brought us here today.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Thank you, Minister.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Thank you very much, Chair. Thank you very much, Minister, for being here today. Minister, you elaborated quite significantly in regard to the “what”, and I feel as a committee we have been very well briefed on what happened. I think the reason we're here today is to get to the “how” and “why” this happened.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  I appreciate that. Thank you. With that concern, would you say that you agree and that you support our getting to the bottom of this issue and, in doing so, putting forward advice to prevent this from ever happening again?

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Excellent. What personal actions did you take, Minister, after the question of privilege was first raised in the House?
