Perfect.

I see that noted on the minutes are “regrets”. You're not included in regrets.

When I turn the document over, it says that the decision was unanimous on that item. That was on the 2020 item. The same was true for 2021. It was unanimous. There's no indication that there was a recusal made.

In further items, it goes on to actually detail when someone leaves the room. It talks about how the CEO left for an in camera item. Of course, we can infer from this that you didn't leave the room for the decision on the COVID payments. Is that correct?

See context to find out what was said next.
