I was at a conference in Washington, D.C., that was put on by Amazon Web Services for the public sector. I had approval from my superior to attend this conference, as was Mr. Utano. We were using AWS as our cloud service. At the end of the last day of the conference, it was presented to me that there would be a group dinner with the Canadian delegation, so myself and Mr. Utano attended that meeting with AWS. They picked up the tab. In the moment, I didn't push back, and because of this, I did not claim my meal for that dinner as part of my travel expenses.
