I understand what you're saying about that, Mr. Ouimet. I'm just trying to wrap my head around this. You're telling me that, in your opinion, to resolve a conflict of interest, the person just has to declare it and there's no need to leave the room.
So, if there were eight conflicts of interest—I'm sure the Auditor General wasn't just making that up—that means there were at least eight different records of proceedings in which you didn't pick up on that important information. You recused yourself when you had a real conflict of interest, and you didn't pick up on the fact someone said you had a conflict of interest with a company. You missed all that.
Did you fail to do your job as a director, Mr. Ouimet?
