Thank you.

Welcome back, Commissioner.

I would like to talk a bit about the Auditor General's report, which you said you reviewed as part of this.

The Auditor General found that Ms. Verschuren not only held the conflicts of interest you referred to in your opening statement but also mismanaged and had a conflict of interest in a number of other transactions.

Does your report cover Ms. Verschuren in her mishandling of conflict when she granted Universal Matter Inc. a payment of $225,000 on March 9, 2021?

See context to find out what was said next.
