Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Welcome, Ms. Dawson and colleagues.
I might say as well, as a member of Parliament, that we've sent a number of materials over to your office and we've always had pretty good cooperation.
I guess one of the key current issues--and you're no doubt aware of the discussion that's been happening at this committee and others--is the appointment of the Prime Minister's new chief of staff, Nigel Wright. We and others have certainly expressed some concerns about the temporary leave of absence and the number of departments that he might have to recuse himself from.
It's my understanding that you have given your approval regarding the arrangements that have been made with Mr. Wright, but I'm not sure if that's true for both sides of the equation. One side of the equation is the fact that Mr. Wright is on a temporary leave of absence from Onex and is therefore going to be here for just a little while. His obligations, clearly, over the long haul, are going to be to Onex. Were you aware of that arrangement he has with the Prime Minister? Do you have any comments to raise on that side of the coin?
