As an Individual
I'm a resident of the city of Montreal. LM Sauvé had won the City Hall renovation contract. When you see things like that, it's indeed disturbing. I pay taxes in Montreal; that troubles me.

You knew the company, but you didn't know it was having problems?

You said you spoke to a number of friends? Did you speak to anyone other than Mr. Pichet and Mr. Gagnon?

When you said you met Mr. Sauvé, I understand you were already in the restaurant and someone brought him to you?

As an Individual
I didn't say that. As I said, I don't remember the exact circumstances. There was a discussion with him, yes, at the Mas des Oliviers.

Did you meet him by chance or did you have a meal together, separately? Did someone call you and tell you he wanted to eat with you, or were you in the restaurant when you saw him?
10:35 a.m.
As an Individual
As I told you, I don't remember the circumstances. I repeat what I said in response to your first questions. I'm going to give you the same answer again: I don't remember through whom, I don't remember how, but I met him at the Mas des Oliviers, and we had a discussion during which he told me about his concerns regarding the contract market in Ottawa.
