Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Without prejudice, I am not sure that the information given by my colleague Mr. Perkins matches what we heard from the witnesses last week. I am referring specifically to Ms. Méthot. I would be curious to validate that in the minutes, because it seems to me that the amounts were not as large. Since we are talking about the reputation of some people, I think it is something that should not be taken lightly.
Mr. Kennedy, based on the allegations and subsequent investigation reports, SDTC has frozen the approval of new projects and will deny any new applications until the implementation process is complete. According to last week’s testimony, it is undeniable that this suspension has serious consequences for companies operating in the sustainable technology sector.
How does the government intend to ensure that this situation will not irreversibly affect development and innovation in the Canadian environmental technology sector?
