House of Commons  Mr. Speaker, I am not protecting anybody. I am just going about my business, like an IT staffing firm does.

House of Commons  Mr. Speaker, I skimmed through the six pages, yes.

House of Commons  Again, Mr. Speaker, I skimmed through it. To answer honestly, I cannot give that answer accurately.

House of Commons  Mr. Speaker, we have mentioned this previously in previous testimonies, but we encouraged the RCMP investigation into the Botler allegations, whether it is fraud over $5,000, because we believe it is going to exonerate us.

House of Commons  Mr. Speaker, it is a common practice to engage with a resource to understand, because not everybody's CV or résumé completely aligns with requirements that are coming out. They may have the experience, but we just have to speak with them to qualify that.

House of Commons  Mr. Speaker, I do not have a number.

House of Commons  Mr. Speaker, the allegations regarding the Botler résumés were on a contract that had already been awarded, so these were task authorizations. No contracts would have been decided either way by these résumés. It was one business.

House of Commons  Mr. Speaker, I am not aware of the allegations. There were six points on the search warrant and they were not very specific to any specific allegations, but from previous testimony, I am understanding that it was fraudulent billing and résumé fraud.

House of Commons  Mr. Speaker, I can confirm that was requested.

House of Commons  Mr. Speaker, no, I was not contacted.

House of Commons  Mr. Speaker, again, acknowledging the fact that I am being admonished and am making history right now, I think I have acknowledged the fact that I made mistakes in the previous committee.

House of Commons  Mr. Speaker, I do not have the exact information. Again, I am not being elusive. I just cannot allude to which questions, what time and which month.

House of Commons  Mr. Speaker, no, I did not.

House of Commons  Mr. Speaker, no, they did not.

House of Commons  Mr. Speaker, that is news to me. I have never engaged Vaughn Brennan to get any meetings with senior government officials.
