Thank you very much.
I welcome that opportunity, because as I mentioned earlier, we had a leader with a very complex employment agreement. It was a difficult situation to get across when we were asked about it by the media a little over a year ago.
What I would say is that our IRS filing, which we filed in late September of 2009, disclosed that for the prior president of the SickKids Foundation, the number on our 2008 filing was $2.1 million for the departure of that leader. In addition, there was an annual salary figure and other smaller items, which added up to $2.7 million. This was a number that was picked up by The Toronto Star after they looked at our IRS filing.
The first thing I think it is very important for the entire committee and my colleagues at this end of the table to know is that we did not pay a salary of $2.7 million. This number was a composite. It included annual salary, benefits, elements of incentive compensation, and other contractual obligations over a period from 2003 to 2010.
