I attended that cocktail party. I remember that someone had bought a ticket and given it to me because he couldn't go. I knew virtually none of the people who were there.

You said you had no relationship with Bernard Côté. Is that true?

I knew Bernard Côté well, but I didn't have any relations with him when he was in Mr. Fortier's office. I haven't seen him in a long time.

I met him in order to try to do business with him before that, when he was in the real estate sector and I was vice-president... No, it was before that. At that time, I was director of development at the Permanent.

That's a good question. He is a lawyer by training. I wonder what law firm he was working with at the time. I don't remember.

I see a quorum, so we're going to resume this meeting.
Welcome, Mr. Glouberman and Madam Gersovitz. You have up to 10 minutes for an opening statement, and thereafter members will ask you questions.
I'll open the floor to whomever wishes to go first.
