Excuse me, Ms. Kolbuc, but you are not answering the question.
You asked Chris Wormald to conduct the external assessment required under the contribution agreement. You asked the same person who wrote the application to do the assessment. That was stated right in the application.
I am not questioning the work done by the Saskatchewan Indian Institute of Technologies. I am questioning your judgment as the director of the ecosystem stream.
I am going to move on to the next question, since I am not getting an answer to that one.
You were on the team that was directed to pursue the Verschuren Centre project when there was obviously no online application possible. You selected the Verschuren Centre project as a possibility yourself.
When some employees raised doubts as to a possible conflict of interest, you told them that you had done the necessary checking with the board of directors and the government and that the conflict had been resolved. Several employees were in the room when you said that. However, when the project was submitted to the board of directors, quite obviously, some of the directors said that there was plainly a conflict of interest and they could not approve the project.
Did you lie to your employees, Ms. Kolbuc?
