All right.
So you knew that that had been written, but that it was false.

According to what was said, you stated that Mrs. Mulroney had given you envelopes containing cash so that you would deposit them at the Bank of Montreal branch on Wellington Street in Ottawa.

When those things were said about you, did you tell someone that it wasn't true, that what was being told was false?

Did you let those people know that things were attributed to you that you did not say?

There is absolutely no point in me hearing... People can say anything. They report anything. On Saturday, in the Journal de Montréal, they said that Mrs. Mulroney and I didn't have good relations, which is totally false. We had a very good relationship. There's no end to it.

Since this committee has been sitting and you've known that you were summoned, have people contacted you to check the testimony you were going to give?

As an Individual
A number of journalists from newspapers such as La Presse and the Globe and Mail telephoned me before I was contacted to testify. I never returned their calls.
