The former chair of a federal green fund told MPs she didn’t do anything wrong, a day after a whistleblower alleged publicly the organization is corrupt.
“I believe the success of the projects SDTC has funded demonstrate that the board under my leadership has done a lot that is right,” Annette Verschuren told the House of Commons industry committee on Dec. 12.
She said she resigned from the board on Dec. 1 “not because I have done anything wrong” but because she believes “the organization’s work is too important to be compromised by the distraction that these allegations have caused.”
