Right.
There are a couple of points here, Mr. Chair.
One, let's differentiate between reference checks and security checks. We are looking into whether the reference check was properly done. Maybe it should have revealed some of his business activities. That work is ongoing through the Public Service Commission.
The security check may very well have been aware of Mr. Yeo's other business activities. However, they're not looking for conflict of interest when they're doing security checks; they are looking for security risks. He was asked during this meeting whether the two should be cross-referenced or if they are cross-referenced. They are not.
The other piece, I would say, Mr. Chair, is that National Defence is a massive organization. Even within our contracting group and our HR group, there are project teams that deal with files that don't touch each other. Therefore, it is entirely possible that Dalian was getting contracts through National Defence that his day-to-day co-workers would not see. The fact that they wouldn't see this work makes sense.
