Mr. Rahme mentioned that you were not entitled to receive direct SDTC funding for Verschuren Centre projects—since you were on the SDTC board—but that he was going to give you access to SDTC resources. This access would help you find direct or indirect funding from ACOA, the NRC and Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada, through the strategic innovation fund, as well as from NGen, which receives money directly from the same department.
Do you stand by your statement that there is no connection between you and the department, and that you never communicated with Mr. Noseworthy in order to receive these funds? Will you continue to say that the funds just appeared in the Verschuren Centre account?
