Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Welcome, Dr. Gilmour. Thank you for presenting yourself at this committee.
Let me go to a very direct question.
Some members have been suggesting that there was a connection between the dismissal of the two scientists who are part of this inquiry at the national microbiology lab and you leaving for the U.K. when you joined the Quadram lab.
I'm going to ask you this directly: Did you resign from PHAC to take on your role at Quadram Institute in 2020?
