My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer to his previous answers. Will the Prime Minister guarantee that the report by the secretary of the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet and his former chief of staff, Phil Gaetjens, will be made public as soon as it is received? Will he guarantee that Mr Gaetjens will interview him and anyone in the Prime Minister's office who may have had contact related to the reported sexual assault?

The secretary of the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet is undertaking his inquiries. He is undertaking those with the relevant members of my office. I'm looking forward to receiving his report—

I'm looking forward to receiving his report, as I am also looking forward to receiving the recommendations that will come from the deputy secretary of the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet. I look forward to reporting further on those matters at that time.
