Thanks, Mr. Chair. Thanks, Minister, for being here.

The statement says you take full responsibility for your actions. We know you didn't recuse yourself. We know there was a failure to recuse. We know you furthered the interest of a friend to the tune of tens of thousands of dollars.

You said, “full responsibility”. Do you think you should pay back the money? Do you think you should pay back the money to the taxpayer?
