Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I want to probe your findings in the “Ouimet Report”.
You undertook an investigation into green slush fund board member Guy Ouimet. You looked more specifically into allegations of conflict of interest when Mr. Ouimet voted along with the rest of the board to approve $38.5 million in taxpayer dollars in so-called COVID relief payments, $38.5 million that the Auditor General determined went improperly out the door. At issue with Mr. Ouimet is that he had a 1% interest in a company called Lithion, a company that received nearly $400,000 from the COVID relief payments that Mr. Ouimet improperly voted to approve. You found that Mr. Ouimet had a financial interest when he voted to approve this funding. Is that correct?
