Mr. Rahme, if you don't mind, I'd like to come back to the Verschuren Centre and its treatment.
I have in my possession a letter signed by you, which was sent to the Verschuren Centre's president and CEO, Beth Mason. The letter begins with “Dear Beth”, which is quite familiar. In the letter, you say that your team will take all the necessary steps to find funding for the project in question. You even say that someone from SDTC, Jonathan Kaida, will ensure proper follow-up so that SDTC can support the Verschuren Centre in its efforts. You are allocating SDTC resources to a project at the Verschuren Centre, where Ms. Verschuren sits on the board of directors.
Is it common practice to assign employees to projects that are not eligible for funding from SDTC and to find funding elsewhere?
