Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I can understand the direction of Mr. Brock's questions, and certainly Mr. Barrett's questions, regarding the practices of KPMG with senior government officials, because of course we know that KPMG publicly had its senior officials meeting with top Conservative cabinet ministers in 2014 and 2015. The revenue minister at the time, Kerry-Lynne Findlay; the finance minister at the time, Joe Oliver; and former prime minister Stephen Harper were all very happy to appear in public with officials from KPMG's tax department during a time when CRA auditors were conducting an investigation into the KPMG accounting firm's tax schemes and seeking names of multi-million dollar clients.
I can understand the direction of these questions, because of course the opposition is desperate to find a link with ministers of the current government. Has either of you ever met with a minister of the current government in line with this contracting work?
