Mr. Mulroney, I know your answer. Everyone knows it. It was for services to be rendered, and that is my starting point.
The fundamental question is whether or not one is to believe you. You will convince us by explaining to us that you dealt with Mr. Schreiber in the same way you dealt with other clients who gave you money for services to be rendered.
In the case of other clients, I understand that all expenses on their behalf and fees that you could charge went through bank accounts. You withdrew money that they had provided to you in advance or you sent them an invoice? Did you not?
The way you shake your head is not recorded, you must answer yes or no.
