Citizenship and Immigration committee  May I just say that we have a different understanding, sir.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  By “altered” do you mean the second template I received?

Citizenship and Immigration committee  No, I did not.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  May I answer the question, please?

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Thank you. We were working with the chief human rights officer for FIFA. We were also working with a former Canadian Olympian, who is now a lawyer in Australia, and with a network in the United States.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Authorization in writing.... I've told you what I received in writing.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I took it to be authorization, yes.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  The agreement was acted upon and was evidenced in many of our communications. It was very clear that this is what was happening.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Absolutely. We were copying ministers regularly.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  It was not on every single email. It depended on the topics, but it was Minister Sajjan, Minister Monsef, Minister Mendicino and Minister Garneau.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Yes, as a result of being included in the email communications.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Yes, definitely.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  I wasn't dealing with Olga Radchenko, who was the director of policy at the time and then became chief of staff to Minister Fraser.

Citizenship and Immigration committee  Yes, we had communications with Mike Jones.
