Ms. Catherine Tait at the Canadian Heritage Committee

I just want to thank the member from the Bloc. It has not been easy, especially in the face of extreme misinformation.

I learned just minutes ago that right now on Twitter, there are some members claiming that I charged taxpayers for a personal trip to Paris. I want to say this while you're all in this room: I made it very clear why I, as CEO, was in Paris at the Olympic Games—one of the most important events—where Canada performed spectacularly.

I want to say how much I appreciate the comments of the député about my willingness to be honest and frank in presenting the facts at this committee.
