Public Accounts committee  I don't know how much time we have—

Public Accounts committee  No.

Public Accounts committee  First of all, it was related to the March 15 insurance committee meeting. It was an hour long. It was an ad hoc meeting called by my DG. A number of issues were presented during that meeting. I wrote the minutes. There was a lot of confusion over the $540,000 amount when she was trying to explain it.

Public Accounts committee  So that $540,000 was to be put back into the pension fund. There was some confusion. We had a number of new members. It was the first time I took the minutes, by the way, on an insurance committee meeting. There was confusion among the SRRs and the retired member in the insurance committee.

Public Accounts committee  Basically, in closing, they did have their chance, and the minutes were accepted as they stated.

Public Accounts committee  No, I did not.

Public Accounts committee  Again, it was six years ago, but at the time, I would say it was not. We just didn't know what to do next at that particular time; we needed time. There was no sense having a meeting following that, because it was of no value.

Public Accounts committee  So we find out that Great-West Life can't provide us the service. We pretty much have just spent $250,000 and we have no value for it. We've had a team working on this for a number of months. That work has to be analyzed to see if we can salvage anything. Basically, we needed to buy some time to figure out what our next steps were going to be.

Public Accounts committee  No, I didn't write it. I didn't author it. I participated in the evaluation of the options.

Public Accounts committee  I wasn't involved in negotiations with either of those. I didn't do any contracting. So I don't see how I would even say that.

Public Accounts committee  That's true.

Public Accounts committee  Not that I'm aware of.

Public Accounts committee  No, what I'm saying is that we did participate in an evaluation of options, and I don't agree that the fix was in at that point, or at any point.

Public Accounts committee  Yes, sir.

Public Accounts committee  It wasn't a barn. He had this big old tractor and he wanted to cover it for the winter--
