Thank you for the comments.
I would say, yes, there was a pandemic and things were crazy and we were going at breakneck speed, but we should not have dropped the ball on this. It's an unfortunate situation. I don't think it takes away, in any way, from the other really important—and I would say fantastic—work we've done for students and for Canadians, writ large.
But they should have recused themselves. They have apologized for not doing so, and I accept that apology. I believe we've learned from this and I really hope we soon get back to our focus on delivering for Canadians—not to say that's ever stopped, by the way. We've moved full steam ahead even as this has gone on.
It's been important for us to take responsibility for this. As I said, the ball was dropped, and we need to move on.
