Public Accounts committee I, Frank Brazeau, do swear that the evidence I shall give on this examination shall be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help me God.

Public Accounts committee Sir, I was not a contracting officer. I never had five seconds of training in procurement. I was the salesman. I was the one selling CAC services.

Public Accounts committee Sir, I was following the rules at that time. We were allowed to do that. Clients were allowed to have the preferred bidder on the list. As Mr. McEvoy testified, it was accepted practice by CAC.

Frank Brazeau
Public Accounts committee As I said, I followed the CAC rules at that time, and that's all I have to say on that.

Public Accounts committee I was not referring.

Frank Brazeau
Public Accounts committee They were not. This whole process has not been in my favour. My name was leaked out in that report—way out—by an exempt staff of the minister's office. Now I hear that throughout this process I've been hit on. I don't think it's here that I'm going to get my say or things will be

Frank Brazeau
Public Accounts committee I didn't agree with their findings and conclusions. I also didn't agree with the process that was taken.

Frank Brazeau
Public Accounts committee No, I'm not grieving the report. I'm grieving what happened to me: I've been fired.

Public Accounts committee Thirty-two months.
May 7th, 2007Committee meeting
Frank Brazeau
Public Accounts committee No. I found work in the private sector, and for the last two weeks I've been back in government as a term employee.
May 7th, 2007Committee meeting
Frank Brazeau
Public Accounts committee The only thing I will say is that I did everything as everyone else did at CAC. Unfortunately, I did it more often, because I had a very big workload. What happened, happened. So I'll have an appropriate forum for me to defend my actions.
May 7th, 2007Committee meeting
Frank Brazeau
Public Accounts committee I was given a chance to be interviewed by KPMG, but I have to wait until the appropriate setting for that. This is not the forum where I will be defending my actions. I'm going through the grievance process with the Public Service Labour Relations Board to get fully reinstated.
May 7th, 2007Committee meeting
Frank Brazeau
Public Accounts committee Once I get to the grievance process or a court. That's the appropriate forum for me.
May 7th, 2007Committee meeting
Frank Brazeau
Public Accounts committee You're darn right.
