My next involvement was on October 31. There was a senior management team meeting in the Château Cartier. I observed Brian Aiken, who was in charge of our audit unit, meet with the commissioner. They had a discussion. The commissioner mentioned to me that there were serious issues with the pension matter, internal matters, and he subsequently convened the senior executive. The commissioner at that point said he had received the results of the audit that had been done by Mr. Aiken and that Jim Ewanovich would be stepping down. At that point, Mr. Ewanovich himself said words to the effect that “This happened under my watch. I accepted responsibility, and I will be stepping down.” And he left the room.
On April 25th, 2007. See this statement in context.
