Thank you, Chair, and thank you to the witness for being here this morning.
Thank you to all my colleagues for their questions as we continue to analyze the issues at hand.
Ms. Verschuren, I want to follow up on some questions.
When you were attending the board meetings, specifically when decisions were made around COVID-19 funding.... I understand that at that time there were a lot of things going on in the economy and a lot of things going on with our health care system. A lot of decisions were being made, but obviously the governance practices and so forth always needed to be followed.
If I understand correctly, in previous testimony you stated that you had a legal opinion that justified your not having to recuse yourself in certain decisions. Do you stand by that advice and the decision you made?
