Have you met with the president of the NRC in planning the transition?
Conservative
Rick Perkins Conservative South Shore—St. Margarets, NS
Okay.
Prior to the freeze, SDTC published a regular update of every project that was funded since its inception on a spreadsheet that you could download from its website. When you restart funding, will you continue this practice?
Board Director, Sustainable Development Technology Canada
I'm sorry. Because I'm so recent in this role, I'm not familiar with that practice. However, it sounds like the very kind of transparency that we're committed to, so, yes, we could do the very same thing.
Conservative
Rick Perkins Conservative South Shore—St. Margarets, NS
Okay. Who is currently the acting president of SDTC?
Board Director, Sustainable Development Technology Canada
We do not have an acting president, sir. We have an acting chief operating officer.

It's Ziyad Rahme, yes.

Is Ziyad Rahme operating full time in that job right now?

Yes, he is operating full time.

Rick Perkins Conservative South Shore—St. Margarets, NS
Okay. We've been trying to get him to appear before this committee and he has been saying that he's sick and can't appear, so that's good to know. We will make another attempt to have him appear.
Board Director, Sustainable Development Technology Canada
Sir, if I could just correct myself, he is on a medical leave right now.

Okay. Who's acting, then, in Mr. Rahme's role of vice-president of investments?
