Mr. Chairman, wanting to be careful in the response to the Member to make sure that I answer his question, it was broadly stated that the government was being investigated. I am afraid that is a broad definition, and to my knowledge, I would not say the government was being investigated. There may have been various inquiries made by the RCMP, but they would not necessarily have made me, or anybody else aware of the nature of their investigation or what gave rise to it. They would simply be seeking information pursuant to their investigation. Often that could be of a party the government had some association with or government

activity itself. The RCMP would not necessarily have shared that with us. Frankly, I am not aware of any situation where the RCMP have advised us this government is under investigation at all.
