Madam Chair, it's important to note that I didn't reject the meetings. It's also important to note that the former ombudsman had given his letter of intent to resign and was on medical leave during that time. No, I did not refuse to meet with the ombudsman. I've met regularly with the ombudsman at any opportunity I have had to talk about a number of issues.
On April 6th, 2021. See this statement in context.
