Well, let's expose it.
With respect, Mr. Commissioner, it's your job to expose the conflicts of interest the Auditor General found 82% of the time. You dismissed Mr. Ouimet and said it was “de minimis”. It is inappropriate for somebody who is a public office holder to personally benefit. In the case you outlined, they personally benefited because that grant from the board he was on, which he voted for, benefited that company. Not only did Mr. Ouimet do that; he also had numerous other conflicts of interest exposed by the Auditor General.
I ask again: Since your report doesn't deal with the Governors in Council appointments overall and the culture of conflict of interest, will you take a look at all those other instances, including Mr. Ouimet?
