Ms. Verschuren, I'm sorry, but I was the mayor of La Pocatière. I'm a contractor, and I was a supplier to the city before I ran for mayor. I knew perfectly well that, as mayor, I would no longer be able to access city contracts or money. Those are basic rules of governance. How did that not occur to you on the 24 occasions when you gave yourself money without recusing yourself, without leaving the room?
That's awfully hard to believe. Seriously, I don't understand how, given your experience, you couldn't figure out that you absolutely had to leave the room and that you couldn't make a decision that would benefit your company. I don't get it.
How did that never occur to you?
