Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank the witness who is with us today. I think this is the fourth or fifth time that she is appearing before a parliamentary committee.
I'd like to point out that it's perhaps a little strange for my Conservative colleagues to not understand a new appointment process to public administration boards.
I also want to acknowledge that we do not, in our party, appoint former candidates, like we've seen in the past. I think the name Gary Lunn has already been mentioned. He's a former minister who lost the 2011 election and was suddenly appointed to a board, SDTC, one year later.
Ms. Verschuren, I will leave it at that. I don't want to go back too far. However, I read the report published by the Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner. I have a question for you about your ties to NRStor.
Before the company was awarded funding, did you receive any dividends or any type of payment from this company?
