Mr. Chairman, we were reminded earlier that the process should be evaluated from the perspective of public accounts. The committee ensured that the issue was brought to the attention of the Auditor General, following a letter. There was a delay that could raise a few questions.
I want to put a question to Mr. Bélair.
Mr. Atyeo just told us that the Royal LePage lobbyists intervened at that time. We know that between April 11, the date of the letter, and the date when the committee adopted a motion asking for the Auditor General to intervene, Ms. Sandra Buckler registered as a lobbyist with your company. Here we have a document that shows that you were in charge of this for Royal LePage.
She was involved in lobbying while you had the contract. She lobbied with Foreign Affairs and International Trade, the Canadian Armed Forces, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, the House of Commons and the Senate. Did she also lobby the MPs to sell them houses? Did you have a mandate to do that? Could you tell us what her mandate was? Did she report to you about her lobbying activities?
