In fact, I was in my living room, surfing the web, when I saw the Auditor General's report. I read it. It is not very long, only about 12 pages.
I thought it was rather strange. It is rare to see such a negative report. I was retired, but I had expressed an interest in perhaps working on certain files. That is when I was contacted and offered the position of interim commissioner. I did not even know that the act allowed for the appointment of an interim commissioner. That is how it happened. I had had no previous contact with Ms. Ouimet or with the office, except as chairperson of the Parole Board of Canada. Ms. Ouimet once came to give a presentation to our executive committee on the new legislation. Apart from that, I had not had any connection to the office.
