Yes. First, it was not a threat. He was apprising me of the Standing Orders of the House - that the CPP has the authority to consider any draft report. I take it the official was, to use his words, "trying to be helpful" to me by explaining to me Standing Orders of which I may not have been aware. It was not a threat, but it means ultimately – which I regard as a far more serious issue and we will get the Standing Orders – the committee can actually conclude a report but may not be allowed to issue it. That was news to me and we need to get that issue clarified. I was being apprised of that fact. That is a simple issue. We will find the Standing Order and the procedures involved. The matter has not been teased out; I was just apprised of it. We will get to the bottom of that.
