That was your own personal due diligence. Again, as minister in this very politicized government.... You were acting in that role, not in the role of defending the taxpayers. You were acting in a role on your own.
I don't know what else we can do at this committee with this case. But on the record, I have serious questions about your political judgment and your prudence as a most trusted minister of the Prime Minister--and that's what the President of the Treasury Board has to be.
