Public Accounts Committee
Business of Committee
9:30 am
Mr. Seamus McCarthy:
The only thing I can do is point out the issue. I do not have any power of sanction or whatever. Obviously, I have drawn this to the attention of the committee because I considered that it required public accountability. Where there are non-standard payments like this, we generally encourage the entity itself to disclose it, but the IHRB was not minded to do that. There was again, I understand, a non-disclosure agreement as part of the settlement. All I can do is report the matter. After that, it is for the Department or the entity itself to follow up on it.
