Thanks, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Cameron, for being here today. I hope that you and your loved ones are safe and healthy throughout this pandemic.
The first question I want to ask is with regard to one of the most controversial aspects of this scandal: the violation of teachers' codes of ethics. There's a payment that was set up as part of this approach that basically was an incentive for teachers to violate two of the key aspects of the code of ethics. I'll read from the B.C. Teachers' Federation's Code of Ethics. It says that teachers must respect “the confidential nature of information concerning students and [can only] give it...to authorized persons...directly concerned with their welfare”, and that teachers must refrain “from exploiting that relationship for material...advantage.”
Given the subagreement with WE, are you confident that, in terms of Katimavik students, there wasn't a violation of privacy rights or a violation of any ethical codes? In other words, was there a bit of a firewall in the Katimavik contract that was different from the concerns that had been expressed about the general approach of this scheme?
