They were very serious allegations, which I took very seriously. As you know, they had circulated. I believe the individuals in question had spoken to various organizations.
By the time I was made aware of them, between March 5 and 17, we had already engaged a firm of experts to conduct an investigation. I still think it's not up to the minister to conduct that kind of inquiry. There are experts who can do that. You yourself are an ethics expert. I have powers under the act and the contribution agreement, but I nevertheless have to leave it up to independent third parties to conduct their investigation and provide me with evidence. Then I can take measures based on that evidence, as I have done thus far.
