Thank you very much.
Ms. Verschuren, I have a problem with the discrepancies between the questions that I asked you and the answers you gave Mr. Cooper. I asked you if, in your official capacity, you acted in a way that would have furthered the interests of your organization. You said that happened 18 months prior—yet the conversation around the COVID funding happened in 2020 and 2021.
Under your own board governance definitions of a conflict of interest, it is said to “arise when a person exercises an official power, duty or function that provides an opportunity to further their own private interests”. Would you not agree that over $200,000 of COVID funding furthers your own private interest?
