Sir, thank you. Your testimony has been very fascinating.
I think one thing that was really striking about this group WE is that we realized, when we began with the finance committee, that the government had little comprehension of how this organization worked. It knew of WE Charity, but basically it knew of Craig and Marc Kielburger because Craig and Marc Kielburger were so closely connected to so many key ministers. They invited Minister Qualtrough to one of their big events and fêted her. They had the Prime Minister's mother and brother at their events, and his wife was working with them. Minister Morneau was closely involved. Minister Chagger was involved. There was very little due diligence about the actual operation. I'm wondering about that.
I'm not blaming the civil service. However, because there was such a sense of closeness between the Kielburgers and all the key government officials, it seemed that this was a group that could actually deliver the services, but the questions of their capacity to actually do this were not asked. Do you think this was one of the problems that got the government into so much trouble with this scandal?
