Colleagues, we have had this discussion on a number of occasions, and the members will know that we have in there, in addition to the Airbus settlement issue, allegations made by any party coming before us, testimony, and new evidence. And we have already found contradictions. For instance, Mr. Schreiber has testified that the moneys given to Mr. Mulroney were not to do with Airbus but were rather to do with Bear Head.
That starts to change the dynamic and the understanding of our hearings. Also, the other evidence that has come out has broadened the complexity and the details here.
I believe it was Mr. Wallace who amended the original motion before the committee to include the concept of present or past governments and how those allegations would....
In view of that, I understand it may ultimately turn out to be not critical or relevant in terms of our recommendations, etc., but I believe that Mr. Rodriguez has raised an item that is on the border. I believe--and he believes--in the argument that the matter is relevant in a general way to our motion.
I would rule the question in order.
Could you please repeat the question for the witness? We will then allow the witness to respond. Thank you.
