Government Operations committee  Yes, I am.

Government Operations committee  No, I didn't, in the early days of the pandemic or during the development of the ArriveCAN app.

Government Operations committee  I don't recall having any meetings with them, but I don't have access to my calendar.

Government Operations committee  Yes, of course I would.

Government Operations committee  I can't speak to the motivations of others, but I held them in high esteem. I had high regard for them. If they had nothing to hide, they would not have to shift blame to others or would not try to stop investigations.

Government Operations committee  I thank the chair and the honourable members for the accommodations that were given to me today, including the breaks. As I said at the outset, I have cardiac disease. I'm still on sick leave. My doctor's advice was to avoid stressful situations because it can cause angina or heart attacks.

Government Operations committee  I agree with that. I can't throw people under the bus.

Government Operations committee  Mr. Chair, I—

Government Operations committee  Mr. Chair, I—

Government Operations committee  Hang on. Let me try to follow that one. Mr. Chair, I'm trying to answer. What I can say is to express my frustration to the committee, because we're here to talk about facts and evidence. I can't express how tired I was at the time. I can't express how frustrated I am that my entire team worked so hard, and to then have this application—

Government Operations committee  That's what I can't say?

Government Operations committee  Thank you for that. Listen, my name is—

Government Operations committee  I'm Vietnamese. My name's fairly simple. It's Minh. I've heard it every single way. Often I hear “Ming”, and I ask myself where in Minh they would hear a G. I've kind of just developed a little bit of a shell on that. My last name, Doan, is Vietnamese. Because of the French influence, we pronounce it “Do-ahn”, but I'm used to being called Doan as well, similar to a hockey player, I believe.

Government Operations committee  They seem plausible. I don't believe in throwing people under the bus.

Government Operations committee  They do.
