Have you or somebody on your behalf ever approached the RCMP about offering to make a deal to give them information so that you could avoid extradition?

As an Individual
I had not such a discussion with them, and I don't know.

I am not sure, no. I for sure did not speak with them about any deal.

Mr. Schreiber, when you first appeared before this committee you told us that you were the victim--

Russ Hiebert Conservative South Surrey—White Rock—Cloverdale, BC
Okay. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
You said that you were the victim and you finally wanted to tell your side of the story, yet you haven't really told us anything new; in fact, you have been using your immunity in Parliament to cast aspersions and to make victims of other individuals without providing a shred of evidence. Is it your hope that by name-dropping and by maligning numerous high-profile individuals, you'll delay and possibly avoid extradition back to Germany?
12:25 p.m.
As an Individual
No. I tried all the time, and I think you are pretty much aware that this has been going on since 1996, either in a courtroom or in front of an inquiry, which for years I asked for. I hope very much that the Conservatives finally do it to bring out the truth. On top of this, if I could get my day in court in Canada, all Canadians could see what the Germans and the Canadians together have fabricated, and they would be shocked. And I would be happy to do that every day, sir.

The Chair Liberal Paul Szabo
Your time is up.
Colleagues, I'd like to propose to you how we finish off the remaining time. It would appear that we can have one more complete round. So each party has one more round. It will take us to about 1:05.
There have been discussions among all the parties. I understand that it's acceptable to the members that our in camera session not be held after this meeting. Rather, we will meet tomorrow at approximately 5:30 for one hour, if that's acceptable to members.
If there are no questions, we'll proceed now with Mr. Dhaliwal for ten minutes.

Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Schreiber, thanks for coming back again.
Can you tell me, what was Mr. Brian Mulroney's reaction when he got the first envelope with $100,000 in cash?

That's very nice.
Mr. Schreiber, you mentioned the guest house at 7 Rideau Gate. Why mention this guest house if you moved on to the Sussex side for breakfast?
12:25 p.m.
As an Individual
It was agreed upon between Mr. MacKay and Mr. Mulroney to meet at this guest house. I even think that Elmer MacKay and I went there, but then we were asked to come to the other building.

Did you know that this guest house was for foreign guests?

Can you get back to the committee with the date of this meeting, please, if possible?
12:25 p.m.
As an Individual
I can try to do my best. Probably I would be able to if Elmer MacKay's office took notes, but from my side, at the moment, I would be unable to tell you.
