Thank you, Mr. Mulroney, for your statement.
Just one clarification may assist the members in their questions. Twice during your statement to the committee you referred to leaving public office. Questions have come up through our proceedings related to the timing of matters as it related to stepping down as Prime Minister but before you ceased to be a member of Parliament. In the context in which you gave your statements about having dealings, when you said you left public office, were you referring to being Prime Minister or to when you left and were no longer a member of Parliament?
