Public Accounts committee  Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Once again, let me begin by thanking the committee for the opportunity to appear this afternoon to address any concerns members may have about these important issues. Given that this is my third appearance before the committee and recognizing that there are several witnesses here today, I will keep my comments as short as possible.

Public Accounts committee  I have no access to my office, but I will certainly make that request for you. By the way--

Public Accounts committee  Read the date of that e-mail, please.

Public Accounts committee  I'm not in charge of A Division. I'm sorry, I have no knowledge of that.

Public Accounts committee  I'd have to look at the file. This was turned over to Dave Gork, who undertook that investigation.

Public Accounts committee  Mr. Wrzesnewskyj, with all due respect, I'd have to ask you a question, as an investigator. Was the leave file updated? Had it been left un-updated? I don't know what happened there, so I can't answer that.

Public Accounts committee  I don't know exactly which one to address. But I'll talk about the leave document. Oftentimes, people have leave documents—anybody can have a leave document—and they have taken leave, but they have not updated. Now, I cannot speak for Mr. Ewanovich; he's not here. I don't know whether his staff updated his document to show that the time had been taken.

Public Accounts committee  That leave file was not in my hands, and I don't believe Jim Ewanovich had it in his hands either.

Public Accounts committee  I believe those were stress related at the time.

Public Accounts committee  Nobody used the words “monster on the loose”, sir. When my DG, Rosalie Burton, came and said, “Barb, people are running out of the office in tears, upset, and their units are seeing them; they're chasing them out of the office”, that's when we spoke of potential harassment behaviour.

Public Accounts committee  From my DG, yes.

Public Accounts committee  That's why I made the call to Assistant Commissioner LaFosse. Whether this is the same information I don't know, since there were other instances in which, according to what Dave Gork wrote, interviews were lost because Sergeant Frizzell became overly emotional.

Public Accounts committee  No.

Public Accounts committee  I had no business to know this. This was an OPS investigation, and he could have removed or kept on anybody as he so wished.

Public Accounts committee  I'm sorry?
