Mr. Chair, I believe it's clear to everyone that Mr. Schreiber is desperate to avoid facing extradition to Germany. We've known about his legal proceedings. He testified to those in the last meeting we had. Prime Minister Harper has stated that he has never spoken to or met Mr. Schreiber, and Mr. Schreiber confirmed that in his own testimony.
Mr. Mulroney, you are undoubtedly aware that Mr. Schreiber hoped you would advocate on his behalf to Prime Minister Harper to help him with his extradition problems. Mr. Schreiber indicated that he believed you were going to raise this matter with Prime Minister Harper last summer. Prime Minister Harper has stated that he has never discussed this matter with you.
My question to you, Mr. Mulroney: Can you tell the committee whether you raised this matter with the current Prime Minister, and if you did not, why not?
