You weren't on your cell phone, because you didn't have one. You weren't looking out the window. You were sitting in a chair across from Mr. Schreiber. Is that correct?

The report given by Mr. Mulroney was one to one and a half hours, you told the committee. Is that correct?

Thank you.
Do you have anything further to offer on that? I know that Mr. Schreiber is saying...but this is a report from Mr. Mulroney to Mr. Schreiber. I'm more interested in what Mr. Mulroney said to Mr. Schreiber--his one-hour report to Mr. Schreiber. It's important that we know.
