Mr. Chair, despite Mr. Erskine-Smith's profound ignorance of the rules of the Ontario Securities Commission, Ms. Verschuren, as someone who served as a director on publicly traded companies, you will be aware that, under the rules relating to insider trading and self-dealing, directors cannot buy and sell shares in the company days after a public announcement. Rather, they can only do so during limited windows outside the quarterly financial reporting periods, yet the conflict of interest rules for the SDTC board, which violated the act, allowed board members to buy and sell securities within three days of a funding announcement.
I ask you this again: Why didn't you fix the policy? It sure sounds like a good deal for board members.
