I guess the appearance of this conflict of interest is that much more concerning because of the lack of fairness and openness and transparency that went on. Perhaps you could elaborate on that. Does that deepen your concerns in this regard?
As well, perhaps you could tell the committee whether or not the lack of fairness, openness, and transparency here is an isolated case--not just from your own experience but others with whom you're talking--or is typical of what you're seeing. Is it just indicative of this case and perhaps associated with the apparent conflict of interest?
