That's right.
The evidence is very clear, as revealed in the Auditor General's report. While you were in attendance at the majority, if not all, of the board meetings, conflicts of interest were declared. Sometimes people left. However, the evidence is clear that those conflicted Liberal directors, including the hand-picked Liberal chair Annette Verschuren, voted in favour of lining their own and their companies' pockets in your presence.
Your fantastical evidence today seems to suggest that you had no moral, ethical or legal obligation to report that to the deputy minister and, ultimately, to the minister. No one, sir, believes that.
You are a senior public servant, and I would hope you have the best interests of the taxpayer in mind. This massive scandal has cost the taxpayers well over $400 million. Your evidence, sir, of remaining essentially mute because your belief, pursuant to the contribution agreement, is that the board was to report these conflicts, which clearly they didn't, does not absolve you of your responsibility. You were extremely negligent, so the jig is up. I don't know who you're trying to protect.
Do you have anything to say about your lack of respect for the Canadian taxpayers, sir?
