Public Accounts Committee on Aug. 7th, 2024

[Larry Brock, Conservative, Brantford—Brant, ON]

Was it January 15 of 2024?

[Diane Daly]

That's correct.

[Larry Brock, Conservative, Brantford—Brant, ON]

When were you suspended?

[Diane Daly]

It was March 12.

[Larry Brock, Conservative, Brantford—Brant, ON]

How were you suspended, verbally or by a letter?

[Diane Daly]

I received a letter.

[Larry Brock, Conservative, Brantford—Brant, ON]

Do you have a copy of the letter?

[Diane Daly]

I do.

[Larry Brock, Conservative, Brantford—Brant, ON]

Will you submit that to the committee?

[Diane Daly]

I will.

[Larry Brock, Conservative, Brantford—Brant, ON]

What was the crux of the allegations against you?

[Diane Daly]

May I read it?

[Larry Brock, Conservative, Brantford—Brant, ON]

Yes.

[Diane Daly]

I like to read stuff so that people know that I'm actually....

[Larry Brock, Conservative, Brantford—Brant, ON]

Go ahead.

[Diane Daly]

My apologies. Perhaps you could give me a moment to look for it.

[The Chair, Conservative, John Williamson]

Mr. Brock, I'll allow this, but this will conclude your questioning.

[Larry Brock, Conservative, Brantford—Brant, ON]

Thank you, Chair.

[The Chair, Conservative, John Williamson]

I will give Ms. Daly a few seconds to find that.

[Diane Daly]

I'm very sorry. I'm looking for it. I have a lot of paperwork here, so you'll have to bear with me. I apologize.

[Larry Brock, Conservative, Brantford—Brant, ON]

Nevertheless, will you supply that to the committee?

[Diane Daly]

I will.

[Larry Brock, Conservative, Brantford—Brant, ON]

Okay.

[Diane Daly]

It essentially says that I did not adhere to the CBSA and PSPC codes of conduct for procurement. It was something to the effect—I'm saying this from memory—that I had not adhered to the values and ethics of the public service. Those were the allegations.

[The Chair, Conservative, John Williamson]

Thank you.

I think that will suffice. If Mr. Brock wants to make a point of it, we can come back to it.

Ms. Khalid, I believe you're next. You have five minutes, please.
