Information & Ethics committee  All I want to do is thank the committee for their time and their questions. We've answered to the best of our ability.

Information & Ethics committee  Can we actually see the document you're referring to?

Information & Ethics committee  May I add to that, please? Again, we want to be clear. We do not produce the creative. We didn't produce the tag lines.

Information & Ethics committee  There were advertising companies that were involved: Republik, I believe, in Quebec, which I believe you've called as a witness; and a company in the balance of Canada, called Yield.

Information & Ethics committee  I believe we said that we selected ridings, not candidates.

Information & Ethics committee  He tells us it's privileged.

Information & Ethics committee  Paul Lepsoe was the previous counsel for the Conservative Party, and he is the one we would have had conversations with.

Information & Ethics committee  I might add, as well, that I just met him this morning before the hearings, and that was the first time I've talked with him.

Information & Ethics committee  That is correct. I might add, if I may, that we also had advice from our legal counsel, Malcolm, that if we were contacted we would not have any direct conversation with them, and we have not.

Information & Ethics committee  Exactly the same. I have not been contacted by anybody from the party or any intermediary.

Information & Ethics committee  Not that I recall.

Information & Ethics committee  We indeed transferred advertising from the Conservative Party of Canada to the official agents of the candidates.

Information & Ethics committee  We provided our invoices to our client on the basis of what we had spent on its behalf. What happened to that subsequently we don't really know.

Information & Ethics committee  All we can really say is that the dollar amount, as we indicated in our opening statement, was identical.

Information & Ethics committee  We planned and we bought the media. We were the media buyers.
