Health committee  Thank you. The way the question is being framed makes it difficult to respond to. I would invite a different way of responding be considered. I am a career public servant, and as a career public servant, I have to follow the law. There are two laws that limit my ability to act.

Health committee  Mr. Chair and honourable member, that was a very excellent way of structuring what you're asking. In fact, Parliament does make law, and I am required to follow that law. The House of Commons' motion does not amend the law, and that's been the challenge in this file. Thank you,

Canada-China Relations committee  If I remember, I said that a number of reviews were undertaken relating to possible breaches of security protocols, and that's—

Canada-China Relations committee  I'm not able to provide the answer to that question.

Canada-China Relations committee  If I misheard or misunderstood you, my apologies. I think you said that I appeared on March 26. I wasn't actually here on March 26, so if I misunderstood you, my apologies. What was the question?
