Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Baylis, I want to express my condolences. I know what it's like to lose a father.
I want to pick up from where we left off earlier.
There's nothing better in life than taking action to save people's lives. I applaud your actions. That said, in an emergency, there are two ways to take action. For example, to put out a fire, we can either grab a small bucket or quickly plan our response and get the fire under control. In this case, in light of the information available, I have trouble understanding what happened. I'll need your help. Perhaps Mr. Godara can answer the question.
Mr. Godara, when you started working with Mr. Baylis, were you aware of his situation? Did you ask any questions?
As a former member of Parliament, inevitably, certain things will stick with you for a little while. You must be careful.
I'm asking you the question. When people tell us that something looks a certain way, it very quickly discredits the people involved. A government must be exemplary and as neutral as possible, especially in times of crisis. That's where shortcomings will be identified. As you know, in business, before experiencing growth or a decline, we take things into account.
Mr. Godara, I want you to tell us what you knew about Mr. Baylis. Did you ask any questions to understand the differences between the requirements for business and the requirements for public money in your contracts?
