Thank you.
Just for clarification, Mr. Mulroney, during your comments with regard to Mr. Schreiber, you made reference to his deportation.

I should just say to the gentleman, sir, that yes, I received it, and I didn't respond in any way. It was a letter of blackmail and extortion.

Did you declare that money as income and did you pay tax on it in the United States?
12:05 p.m.
P.C., As an Individual
No, I declared it in Canada. I paid all of the tax on that amount under the law and international treaties, because I am a Canadian citizen. Under our legislation,
all worldwide revenues have to be paid in Canada.

My adviser met with the tax authorities and they worked it out. They told me what cheques to sign and send, and I did that, sir.

From 1993 through to 1999, let's say through to 2000, I'm assuming you had your own accounting firm that did your income tax returns.
