Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Madam Ouimet, for appearing here today. I know we have met on the ethics committee, and I know you had spoken quite highly of your educational promotion of your department.
What I'd like to do is go into two different areas, point 13 of the AG's report and paragraph 36. I'd like to talk to you about human resources and what types of staffing issues had taken place. I have read all of the report you have given us. I've seen some of the types of commentary of your current staff and I know how they felt about you. But I guess the point is, going back to the original staffing situation that you were in...my assumption is that this is what the Auditor General was looking at, if the timeframe is accurate there.
I'll start with paragraph 36:
In our view, the allegations made by the complainants concerning the Commissioner’s inappropriate conduct and interactions with PSIC staff, retaliatory actions by the Commissioner, and the failure by the Commissioner to properly perform her mandated functions, are founded. As previously noted, we have reported separately to the Chief Human Resources Officer at the Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat and to PSIC management on the allegations related to performance pay decisions.
I think in that there was the question about how someone went from one level of pay to another level of pay. Am I misinterpreting that?
