Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Madam Ouimet, for being here.
The Auditor General concluded that complaints were founded and specifically that you acted inappropriately; that you mistreated and intimidated certain PSIC staff; that you took retaliatory actions against employees, including circulating sensitive personal information concerning health, character, and performance within the office and to outside parties; that you neglected to perform many of your mandated duties, including setting out proper procedures--you did touch on that--and handling disclosures and complaints under the Public Servants Disclosure Protection Act; and that you refused to investigate complaints in spite of supporting evidence.
Madam Ouimet, these are scathing accusations. In fact they're very disturbing. How do you respond to that?
