Yes. I want to clarify that I had only one conversation with her in terms of this appointment. It was, I believe, in late June and, as I said in my testimony, I was in the process of retiring. I believe, although I'm not absolutely certain, that she did raise that she was working with the Ethics Commissioner, that she was addressing this issue and that the Ethics Commissioner's office had provided guidelines and indicated to her that she could proceed with the appointment.
On November 18th, 2024. See this statement in context.
