The short answer would be no.
I believe there may have been one or two occasions when I briefed either Minister Champagne or former minister Bains when they were going into a meeting with a company that had obtained SDTC funding, where we told them what happened in terms of funding for that company. However, that would have been an extremely routine thing. I believe former minister Bains, at one point in time, spoke at an SDTC event, and I reviewed his speech with him in advance of that.
To my knowledge, those are the only interactions I had with ministers on this matter.
