Thank you very much.
Thank you, Mr. Brown, for being here today and talking with us and being candid.
One thing that's developed out of Parliament, perhaps since you were here, is that it seems a precedent has been set to invite people or summon people before the bar of the House of Commons for not telling the truth. It's always nice to have somebody here who's candid and who's willing to be honest and forthright.
The question I asked you when I started last time was about Pierre Poilievre or his office having any contact with you prior to today's meeting. What about the Conservative Party of Canada, anybody representing them or anybody relaying any messages to you? Was there any contact from anybody in preparation for today's meeting?
