Yes, that is right, there is a reference to well-tilled ground. And to demonstrate that we do not need an investigation into Airbus, he mentions the two books written by Stevie Cameron. It is rather surprising to use that to prove that there is no need for an investigation into the Airbus matter.
The second point is directly related to the RCMP issue, and it disturbs me somewhat. The fact that is from the beginning, there has been a certain vagueness in the statements made by the RCMP. I am referring to page 18 of the English version of Mr. Johnston's report, where he states:
Despite Mr. Schreiber's recent statements before the Ethics Committee to the contrary, the RCMP advises that Mr. Schreiber and his counsel were interviewed several times over the course of the RCMP's investigation. On a number of occasions between August 1999 and September 2004 [...]
And he gives other dates, up to 2006.
Unless I am mistaken, all of that happened after the Airbus settlement. During your own conversations with the RCMP, which date back to 1995, did anyone at the RCMP tell you that he or she had spoken to Mr. Schreiber?
