All right, thank you.
Mr. Noseworthy played a role in your appointment as chair, since he was the one who told Ms. Lawrence about your candidacy. In fact, he was the one who announced to Ms. Lawrence that, despite her reservations, you would become the chair of the SDTC board of directors.
If we take a closer look, we can see that a number of government expenditures are linked to Mr. Noseworthy. The specific amounts you would have received from government agencies where Mr. Noseworthy works total nearly $6 million. These agencies include the National Research Council Canada, or NRC, and the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency, or ACOA. Mr. Noseworthy works for these organizations and also attends board meetings, making him the government's eyes and ears.
What can you tell me about the fact that a close connection exists between you, Mr. Noseworthy and the funding received by the Verschuren Centre, which bears your name?
