Public Accounts committee  I didn't actually talk to any of the committee members, if I recall, but I talked to a lot of their legislative assistants--if that is the proper title--and also to some other members who took a keen interest, such as the ones who were mentioned in Hansard. I think I connected with three of those people as well.

Public Accounts committee  One of my recommendations, number three on my opening statement..... If you look at 9.51, I believe it is, of the OAG report, chapter 9, it recommends many things, but one of them was for the RCMP to review the charging principles. I guess they deal with Treasury Board to allocate money.

Public Accounts committee  I'm the complainant in that investigation as well. It seems that a lot of my duties were labour relations. It seemed that a lot of my duties became investigation. What happened was that in 2001 an assistant commissioner in the RCMP complained openly in an e-mail to all his employees that they were accepting privileges from contractors, which is not only a Criminal Code offence under section 121 but a violation of government conflict regulations, the code of conduct—the whole thing.

Public Accounts committee  Yes. Because I had spent so much time over a three- or four-year period dealing with them, I was able to ask them how it was going to turn out. I got the impression that I might not be happy with the end result, because they can't really state certain things, but if you want to get the truth out, get a parliamentary hearing.

Public Accounts committee  That's right, because I sent a document to all you members.

Public Accounts committee  No response.

Public Accounts committee  No.

Public Accounts committee  Well, all I can say is that I read that in the Hansard. I don't know what her thoughts were.

Public Accounts committee  Well, it's about a 60-page document, but basically the document I sent to your office outlined all the problems with the investigation, which I've imparted to you here today. Just to make sure it's on the official record, I've taken the same document that I sent to your office and I've tabled it.

Public Accounts committee  It was on February 16, 2004.

Public Accounts committee  Actually, you have the information. I sent it to you.

Public Accounts committee  I asked them to pass it on to the Office of the Auditor General. Then I was in contact with them, and I believe—Mr. Gork can confirm this—the Auditor General required the RCMP to brief the OAG on a bimonthly basis.

Public Accounts committee  There was no response from them.

Public Accounts committee  No. And then later I wrote to Mrs. Bloodworth because I was concerned, later on in the investigation, that still things were happening that didn't appear right. I had no response.

Public Accounts committee  Yes.
