Thank you, Chair.

Mr. Lafleur, you're tasked with providing an investigation internally into what happened with ArriveCAN. I'm interested in what seems to be the difference in the level of interest you're applying to allegations against different individuals.

Your preliminary work, at least, seems to suggest a profound interest in allegations against Mr. MacDonald and Mr. Utano and a surprising lack of interest against Mr. Doan. I note that Mr. Doan faces serious allegations related to the deletion of documents and that no provisional action seems to have been taken against him, while Mr. MacDonald and Mr. Utano have been suspended without pay.

Could you provide the committee with any explanation as to your relatively much greater attention to allegations against Mr. MacDonald and Mr. Utano compared to allegations against Mr. Doan?
