Thank you, Madam Chair. I will be sharing part of my time with my colleague Alex Ruff.
Minister, I'd like to turn to General Vance's pay raise and the order in council on May 9, 2019, that gave him a $45,000 a year pay raise, a significant pay raise. You were responsible for bringing that to cabinet. I'm wondering, before the decision was made, did you inform the cabinet of the uninvestigated sexual misconduct allegations against Mr. Vance so they could take that into consideration before they gave him his raise?
