I totally understand. Thank you.
I was very interested in reading your investigation into Mr. MacNaughton, and I thank you so much for your positive response when I asked for an investigation. I found it very troubling, because Mr. MacNaughton has a long history of lobbying in Ottawa, so he's very familiar with the rules.
He had said that he had cleared this with you, and in paragraph 4 of your report, you said that Mr. MacNaughton, following consultations with the Office of the Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner, was named president of Palantir Technologies Canada effective September 4, 2019.
Did he discuss with you the parameters of his role? If he had spoken with you, would it not have been clear that he was not to do lobbying?
