I would like to say that members of this committee have made many statements that are completely false and verifiable. For example, someone said that I funded Annette Verschuren's projects. I was not an investor in Annette Verschuren's projects at all. I even submitted the Canada Infrastructure Bank memo, which shows that I was absent that day. That is completely false.
Someone also said that Steven Guilbeault was the largest shareholder of that capital, but Mr. Guilbeault holds no shares in that capital. People are trying to connect two things: funds that were received entirely appropriately by our portfolio companies over the years and my tenure on the SDTC board. That's not true. I always recused myself. I've always declared my interests, as was just demonstrated to Mr. Perkins.
Even when there was a potential conflict of interest, but ultimately no conflict of interest, on the day of the vote on the COVID‑19 measures, I always declared that conflict. I've always been extremely honest and extremely clear on that. That's one thing I would like to say, Ms. Yip.
