Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Let's talk about the board members. Ms. Verschuren resigned on December 1, 2023. Jill Earthy resigned in January 2024. Erin Mahoney resigned in May 2024. Guy Ouimet resigned on June 3, 2024, almost a year after the release of the first version of the Raymond Chabot Grant Thornton report.
You said that you advised people at Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada to be cautious in conversations. Could you elaborate? They all resigned, so we know that sensitive issues must have been discussed. Did you receive any further information on this? Were you kept in the loop?
