Certainly, Mr. Chair, we've evidence that his name was still appearing on contracts after he started his job with the public service. That would be the key piece of evidence I would offer. During his testimony earlier this week, he mentioned that he launched processes at Dalian to put his interest in “a blind trust”, I believe he said, but that took some time, and he regretted being so slow.
I would come back to this, Mr. Chair: It does not matter to me if he did that quickly or slowly. He still did not meet his obligations as an employee of the Government of Canada to disclose his conflicts.
