I had a number of discussions with the president of CBSA at that time, but, as I hope I made clear in my opening remarks, I was not in any way involved in any of the HR practices, such as the hiring or firing of employees. That is the responsibility of the deputy minister or deputy minister head of their organization. Similarly, I was not involved in the issuance of any contracts in my ministerial position.
