Justice committee  Am I speaking to the amendment?

Justice committee  Ms. Wilson-Raybould has sent a statement to the media this afternoon indicating she would be willing to reappear at the committee.

Justice committee  I'm glad you understand the question now. In your previous testimony, I asked you if you were informed of the September 4 decision by the director of public prosecutions. You said no, and then by midway of your testimony you indicated, “I think she advised the Prime Minister of
