I wrote about all this in the Kaplan afterword, which explains why the text I wrote in Le Devoir did not become a front-page story in Le Devoir and did not become a story in The Globe and Mail, both of which had the text. The reason it did not become a front-page story in Le Devoir and The Globe and Mail, whereas it did in La Presse, is that the reporters for Le Devoir and the reporters for The Globe and Mail had read the afterword, so they knew I had already written about this.
The first set of documents I have is on the reimbursement for personal expenses. One additional piece of information that may help is that, shortly before I left the Prime Minister's Office, I was told of a CCRA ruling defining these reimbursements as non-taxable; that is, they did not constitute income. So this is the first set of documents.
In addition to that, and I only learned this recently, it appears that Mr. Mulroney was being reimbursed for “personal” expenses by the PC Canada Fund. I have no knowledge of any aspect of this arrangement--any aspect. But the document appears to indicate, from the face of the document, that he was reimbursed slightly more than $100,000 for the nine-month period between October 1986 and June 1987.
