No, but you're here to represent Canada Soccer. You were the witness summoned to represent Canada Soccer. You should have taken material notice of this very important question that everybody knew was going to be brought up today at the committee.
You have a former board member named Ryan Fequet, who was quoted as saying:
The board recognized this was a [expletive] deal right from the start. You should know about an organization you are partnering with if you are giving them literally all of your marketing rights. And every time we have asked for information about Canada Soccer Business, the board has been shut down. The board absolutely did not approve this contract.
You have other former board members who say the same.
I went through all your minutes, and you have no minutes. Yes, it is true that in March 2018, there was a document that had some type of approval, but that was not a final version. On November 30, 2018, the board reconsidered that document and said it wanted to come back to it to have the negotiating team report back to recommend either approval or next steps. The agreement was signed on December 1, 2019. It does not look like your board ever approved this agreement, which would be a considerable, material problem, as this is a very important document that would have needed to be approved by the board.
Mr. Cochrane, what did you find in your research in terms of what date the board approved this document?
