I want to be clear: I don't hold it against you, I'm not criticizing you. However, I want to shed some light on this story.
If it turns out that such an activity has occurred in your department, in other words, a person with decision‑making power has systematically refused all applications for open permits for vulnerable people based solely on their opinion, which borders on the far right, will you commit today to coming back to the committee and telling us so publicly? Will you commit to being fully transparent, once this has been discovered, and tell us what actually happened within the department and what the consequences were?
