Thank you.
Good morning, Ms. Biggs.
You have worked in the Public Service for a long time. I am not trying to say that you are old, but that you have a lot of experience in the Public Service, because you have worked with other ministers and in other departments and agencies.
You signed this funding recommendation and, subsequently, someone added the word “not”. Don't you think that that comes down to putting words in your mouth that you did not want to say?
In your experience, what happens in other departments or agencies when a minister receives a recommendation that he or she does not want to accept? Is the common practice not for the minister to just cross out the recommendation document itself or simply to return it with no signature. Isn't that the common practice?
