Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'm just going to start with a very quick comment. Having been involved in communities for many years and having applied for funding, I've never had a situation where a month is for a major program like that. It's very unusual.
I have a number of questions and very little time, so I would appreciate very quick answers.
The first question is this. Both the minister's wife and the minister's EA were involved. Were there any questions raised with your department with respect to the potential conflict of interest in this situation? Did anyone say, “We have a problem here; there's a conflict with two people”?
