Thank you, Chair.
Frankly, Mr. Hartle, this whole situation is just disgusting. A department in government is supposed to be there to support indigenous peoples, a Prime Minister said that this is the most important relationship, and then we have what we've been talking about throughout this whole scandal, which is that elite well-connected non-indigenous insiders were taking advantage of the program to try to enrich themselves and that indigenous peoples being left at a severe disadvantage as a result. The government and the department did not have their back and only tried to preserve the optics of the program.
To review your testimony, you identified that there was a problem with the Canadian Health Care Agency. The minister was likely informed. You wanted to refer this issue to the RCMP. You were blocked from doing so. They subsequently changed the rules to make the auditing process more difficult, and then they fired your auditing company.
Is that correct?
