(1)–(3)
I do not know why the opposition would waste time asking questions now when
there is a matter of public interest on this immediately after question time. I
will go through this in detail then, answering questions about what I knew and
when. The specific details of the sponsorships that were provided were
contained in a briefing note sent by the Auditor General. Following his review,
a copy of that went to the Public Sector Commissioner. That is when the
investigation commenced and when I became aware of it.
