Since that time, have you kept a diary of your activities in Canada?
11:45 a.m.
As an Individual
There were diaries with me and my secretary, but unfortunately, with all the actions against me in Germany, all this stuff was taken and disappeared. In the meantime, you can buy diaries of me on the market, from the journalists. It's funny.

When you say the diaries disappeared, have they been seized by German authorities?
11:45 a.m.
As an Individual
I can't say that because I was not around. I was away when they seized my home. I left, and you know I lived in Switzerland at the time, so I don't know where they are. I'm amazed that only two of them, the critical ones from 1991 and, I'm not sure, I think 1994, showed up in court there.

Going back to the conversation with Mr. Doucet and Mr. Moores, do you have a log of your appointments, an appointment book?

Did you keep an appointment book at that period of time, a day-timer or...?
11:45 a.m.
As an Individual
Yes, it could be, but this is the same thing. I always carried this around with me. This is the same thing.
11:45 a.m.
As an Individual
I'm speaking all the time about this, about nothing else, sir.

I want to go back for just a quick thing following up
a question from Mrs. Lavallée or rather from Mr. Thibault.
You had expected to get some kind of a receipt from Mr. Mulroney or a bill from him, I'm assuming, when you gave him the first $100,000?
11:45 a.m.

Did you ever receive a bill or a receipt from him acknowledging receipt of that first $100,000?
11:45 a.m.

In the subsequent payments of the balance of the $300,000, the other $200,000, did you ever receive any acknowledgement in writing from Mr. Mulroney that he had received those funds from you?
