My question is directed to Mr. Macaulay and is on the same subject. At our last meeting, you stated, and I quote:
My punitive assignment was a two-year secondment to the Department of National Defence. Let me add that this in no way reflects upon the Department of National Defence, but for me, being removed from my position was a punishment and a clear message to others.
You said and you maintain that it was a punishment in your opinion.
But Mr. Zaccardelli said that he did it for your own good. He adds that he gave you a promotion upon your return. Do you agree?
