Why would someone like Mr. MacDonald, who has IT expertise that, I imagine, is beyond basic, rudimentary IT expertise, talk about the deletion of emails and perhaps not be aware that those emails could be retrieved at will? That's the reason I was asking you that question.
Mr. Doan, we heard in previous testimony accusations that Mr. Firth and GC Strategies were working with public officials to design bid criteria or recommend bid criteria.
Is it appropriate, in your experience, for a vendor to approach and work together with a public servant on bid criteria?
