Information & Ethics committee  The board chair approved my trips because he thought that my mission was in the interest of the corporation. In fact, following that trip, I was able to report to my teams and my professionals on examples of practices in other countries in the world.

Information & Ethics committee  From 2007 to 2009, I submitted my travel and mission projects to Bernard Roy, who was the chairman of the board at the time.

Information & Ethics committee  Bernard Roy had the authority to approve my expenses. The Hon. Gerry Weiner has approved them since 2009. The board of directors does not see my expenses. In terms of managing travel expenses, our policy is based on good practices and it follows the standards of the Treasury Boar

Information & Ethics committee  Yes.

Information & Ethics committee  Once my annual evaluation report is submitted, my mandate is renewed every year during the annual general meeting by the audit committee and by the chair.

Information & Ethics committee  Absolutely, sir.

Information & Ethics committee  I cannot speak to any studies or reports done by the government or the minister. We are unfortunately not informed of any projects at that level. We are going to let the department do its studies and we will follow the direction that we will be asked to follow.

Information & Ethics committee  A jewel indeed.

Information & Ethics committee  I think that, when the Old Port of Montréal was first set up in 1981, there were between four and six development plans, including a massive plan for condos and office towers. It would have looked like Toronto's waterfront. Thanks to the people and public consultation...

Information & Ethics committee  ...we managed to use this site for tourism and recreation, as well as cultural purposes. And it has been supported by the government since then, despite all the business plans.

Information & Ethics committee  Unfortunately, I am not in a position to answer that question. I have no information about that. The changing of the chair falls under CLC decisions...

Information & Ethics committee  My relationship is very good and they have been supportive with this smear and mud-slinging campaign going on.

Information & Ethics committee  Yes.

Information & Ethics committee  We haven't received any offers from developers so far because what we have been saying for over 30 years now is that it is a tourist and cultural destination

Information & Ethics committee  Regardless of the government's decision, we are talking about assets worth $500 million. The infrastructures are worn out. The assets require a lot of maintenance work. It doesn't matter who is responsible for the site, $55 million needs to be invested over the next five years. T
