These unedited recordings consist of testimony recorded by the Cable Public Affairs Channel in Ottawa, Ontario. Testimony is provided by returning witness, Vice-Admiral Larry Murray. Cross-examination of Murray resumes from previous day with questioning by Stuart Hendin, counsel for Colonel Serge Labbé, and Raphael Schachter, counsel for Lieutenant-Colonel Carol Mathieu.~Testimony is also provided by Major Marc Phillippe, Serving Judge Advocate General (JAG) Officer and former Legal Officer (J1) for the Canadian Joint Forces Somalia Headquarters (CJFSHQ) in 1992 and 1993. Examination-in-chief is conducted by Simon Noël of Commission Counsel.~Subjects include the history of Phillippe's military career, the role and function of legal counsel on a mission, the 4th March 1993 incident, and the events following 4th March, prior to the point at which military police were sent in-theatre. Discussion also surrounds the decision to send only one legal officer to Somalia, the lack of clarity about the authority of legal officers, and reluctance to use the services of legal officers while in-theatre.~A motion is raised by Hendin, counsel for Labbé, alleging that there is a solicitor-client privilege between his client and the witness, Major Phillippe. The issue, as debated by Hendin and Commission Counsel, seeks to determine "who owns privilege when the lawyer from the JAG's office provides legal advice to an army commander in the exercise of his duties for his employer. Does the privilege belong to the employer, the employee, or both".~Following the afternoon break, Justice Létourneau dismisses the motion raised by Hendin and outlines his reasons for doing so. Examination-in-chief then resumes with Phillippe.
