I did that in an acting capacity starting in November 2021. All I can tell you is that I never met the minister during that period. There were times when I would have like to meet him, but having already worked at the provincial level, I'm well aware of the fact that the reporting structure within government organizations must also be complied with.
I was told that to meet the minister, I would have to wait for him to invite me. I therefore never met him because I never received an invitation.
