Ms. Casey, could you give that information, within 10 days, to the clerk of the committee, please?

Yes, because I think the member asked me if I took hockey tickets. I had said that before--and I didn't know it was inappropriate. When I was told it was inappropriate, I stopped taking hockey tickets, and that would have been when Treasury Board came out.
So I think that's important to note.

They went through a normal staffing process. I had input as a member on a committee, but staffing, who sat in on those committees, would give the letters of offer and promote people. I did not.

So you had input. Thank you.
On a point of order, even though I'm the one questioning, I notice that Mr. Molson's chair is still empty, Chair. He is here. Could we perhaps bring him to the front and have him sworn in and have that taken off my time?

In February 2006, six months after the conclusion of the criminal investigation into the NCPC wrongdoings, under the direction of Ms. Rosalie Burton there was a request for proposals posted on MERX for a consulting contract to carry out “evaluation of the pension administration outsourcing project”.
Mr. Casey, you were one of the 22 bidders. Were you successful in winning this contract?

You're stalling once again.
Yes, it was for evaluation of the pension administration outsourcing project, Mr. Casey. In February 2006, did you receive a contract? You were one of 22 bidders.
