Thank you, Chair.
Thank you for coming, Ms. Dawson, and for bringing your colleagues with you.
I appreciate that this is a difficult time for all of us, sorting through all these issues.
I know that in the past you told us that there is some confusion about your role and some misinformation in these kinds of situations, partly because of the title you have, which includes the word “ethics”. None of the backup to that includes that language. So I appreciate that it's sometimes confusing for all of us.
My questions, at least at the beginning, are related to the situation concerning Ms. Guergis. I just want to make clear that the Prime Minister didn't make an official complaint or request an investigation or an inquiry or an examination, either under the code or under the Conflict of Interest Act, to your office.
