Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Blanchard, for being here. I'm sure you've had more productive uses of your time than being here for these two hours, from what I've heard so far.
I'm going start with something Mr. Cooper said. He started by saying Mr. Carney's conflicts are vast, and then he ended by asking whether it wouldn't be better if the PM just heeded the advice of the commissioner. In your opinion, and in the opinion of the others who were involved in this process, has the Prime Minister heeded the advice of the commissioner and followed the rules?
