Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all of the witnesses for being here today.
Mr. Palter and Mr. Pickersgill, I just want to go over some of the testimony, because there were several interruptions. I want to make sure that everything is on the record and very clear.
In terms of conflict of interest for executives, whether they're contract employees or employees, you made it very clear that when it came to the CIB's awarding contracts or partnerships with anyone, you and your firm, contract employees or not, were not involved in any of the awarding of CIB projects and proponents.
