The cheques were written to the chief of staff of the Prime Minister. This is an arrangement that went back to the first chief of staff and continued with subsequent chiefs of staff. As far as I know, it continued after I left, but I don't know that for a fact. But the arrangement was in place for the first, second, third, and I was the fourth chief of staff, so I know that they had an arrangement. The cheque was written to me or to my predecessors in trust. It was deposited, cashed, or whatever, and transferred to either the accountant or Mrs. Mulroney.
