Madam Speaker, the member for South Shore—St. Margarets makes a great point. Prior to this, there were no members of the board who would be conflicted. Not only did they appoint board members who were conflicted, they appointed the chair herself, who was highly conflicted and who was not only caught making decisions of a conflicted nature, where she was approving funds, but also further found to have violated the Conflict of Interest Act by the Ethics Commissioner.
This is one of the reasons why we are here today and one of the reasons why the Auditor General's report is so valuable and so important. It found that this was happening right under the nose of the Liberal government, under the nose of the Liberal ministers, because they themselves knew the conflicts existed.
They knew that this was a possibility, they knew that this was a problem, yet they still appointed these individuals to their roles as board members at SDTC.
