Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Noseworthy, for appearing before us, despite the fact that you're in Newfoundland in terrible weather, but that's fine.
I won't press you on this, because you've been asked many times, but your function seems to have been a dual role, whether you saw it that way yourself or not. The deputy minister, as many have outlined here, has said that you were his eyes and ears.
You saw yourself in the function of a liaison with SDTC's board—there to answer questions if they brought them up. You gave a list of some of the topics that they might ask you questions on. One was the evolving policy that the ministry had. We've heard here that some of the projects that were funded didn't line up with the criteria that the fund was designed for. Is that something that was the result of evolving policy?
Did they ask you questions about that? If so, were you there for those discussions?
