Thank you, Mr. Chair. I would also like to thank the witnesses for being here this morning.
I do not think that we should try to sweep anything under the carpet with respect to government responsibility. It is the government that, through this process, presents one person to parliamentarians. It is the government that makes the final appointment. Consequently, the ultimate responsibility lies with the government.
Mr. Friday, could you tell me two things, the exact date that you started in this position and the title of the position you held.
