All right.
Since you recused yourself, you therefore had no say in the fact that Boyden was involved in the appointment process or the introduction of the members.
However, the conflict of interest doesn't disappear when you leave the room. Conflict of interest is a significant issue. This is your wife working as a partner at a firm that will appoint board members; those members will then set your own compensation. You can't confirm it right now, which is unfortunate, but it seems that Boyden received sole-source contracts. From what I understand, there wasn't even a competitive framework. You're telling me that the process was competitive, but that you don't know.
Do you know or not? Was it competitive, Mr. Rahme?
