Thank you.

Mr. Lavoie, you were instrumental in helping Mr. Mulroney win the $2.1 million libel suit against the government for linking him to the Airbus affair. I think that's generally accepted. In fact, in the settlement that was finally reached--the $2.1 million--roughly $1.4 million was for legal expenses and went to lawyers, and fully $587,721 went to you, or your firm, NATIONAL Public Relations. Is that a fair assessment of the settlement?
