First meeting
of Canada’s National Security and Intelligence
Committee.
“Time for a health break,”
declares the chairperson.
“Coffee and tea are in the lobby.
The washrooms are down the hallway.”
“When texting,
avoid details
of our discussions.”
“For sexting,
or nude selfies,
use my office on the 2nd floor.”
“Uh, Tony, come see
what I found on Instagram.”
