Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Clement, I'm trying to get my head around just what was going down in those meetings that you chaired. Maybe it wasn't nefarious. Maybe it was just kind of hapless and everybody was thinking, my God, we hit the lottery, and how best do we do this?
So we go back to this paper trail that you said you had nothing to do with. The paper is said to be sent to Ms. Sondra Read, constituency manager, Tony Clement's office, with her parliamentary account.
You were at the meeting. You've got guys walking around handing out homemade paper.
Did you accept the paper? Did you receive this paper?
I mean, why were they thinking that they could just make up the paper on your behalf? What was going on there?
