Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I am going to follow up on the questions of my previous two colleagues from the Bloc and the NDP, but I would like to follow up on something I asked you earlier.
In the timeline of your appointment, when you sought advice from the Ethics Commissioner on your conflict of interest in assuming this position, the conflict of interest being that the board of the organization you were about to chair was already lending or granting money to your company, was that after you had accepted the position in your conversations with Minister Bains?
