Mr. Chair, the ministry was advised, but my staff.... Certainly, my recollection is that they told me very rapidly that this was unfolding, because we needed to discuss how to respond. It was on February 16. We had been approached by a complainant with a fairly substantial dossier expressing concerns about events inside the organization and seeking to have the department follow up. That would have been February 16 of this year.
On December 11th, 2023. See this statement in context.
