In this case, I'll need to clarify, Mr. Chair, that there was awareness that he was a full-time contractor for the Department of National Defence, and we wanted to turn that role into a public service job.
The supervisors of Mr. Yeo were not aware of his broader business dealings, or they would have asked questions. They thought he had just been turned from a contracted person who showed up every day into an employee. They were not aware of his other business activities.
