I have made no political charges whatsoever. I disagree entirely with that charge. I have made no political charges to Mr. Fraser. I am just trying to establish some key facts. The reason we are talking about this matter again today is because that private confidential information was leaked from Cabinet. It has now been established that back in 2017 and in January, Mr. Fraser headed up an investigation into the ongoing leaking of confidential material from the Cabinet. I am trying to establish some transparency about what is going on in the public service.

I again ask a question of Mr. Fraser. Does he believe the breach in Cabinet confidentiality is a legal matter, a criminal matter?
