6:35 p.m.

The Clerk

Sure. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I would say that based on analysis done alongside the analysts, it appears that the majority, and perhaps all of the questions that were asked of the witness to provide responses to in writing, were addressed. Again, I would hesitate to give you 100% clarity on that.

That said, as the chair acknowledged, there were questions directed to Mr. Firth by the chair on behalf of the committee, and those questions, based on an analysis of the information, don't seem to be part of that series of answers provided.

Again, I leave it to the committee and to the chair to assess whether or not they are satisfied with the responses.
