Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Pelossi, did you facilitate transfers to the PC Canada Fund, or did Mr. Schreiber talk to you about contributions to the PC Canada Fund?

I want to talk about Air Canada board members. Do you know of any Air Canada board members having received cash, or talked about cash?
As an Individual
No, I have no idea. With the exception of Mr. Frank Moores.

Mr. Moores, yes. You stated that earlier, thank you.
I want to bring you back to the Devon account. You and Mr. Moores went to the bank to set up the account. He specifically told you one was for him and one was for Mr. Mulroney. Is that right?

He was the owner of both accounts, so he would be the only one who could withdraw money from either of those accounts?
Liberal

He was the sole trustee on both of those accounts.
Did he at the time tell you where he got the name Devon?
As an Individual
No. I didn't ask him. Nobody told me anything about this.
As an Individual
I remember that he put this name just to facilitate the identifying of both accounts. You see they are similar, one is 34107 and the other one is 34117. He just put this Devon to identify that as their account.

If you had remained with the company, would you have had the responsibility of transferring money in those accounts, or would that have been done by Schreiber?
Liberal
Robert Thibault Liberal West Nova, NS
All the transfers to the subaccounts or the other accounts were done by Schreiber?
Liberal

Let me put a hypothesis to you, Mr. Pelossi. Could it be possible that Mr. Moores was pulling a fast one on Mr. Schreiber?
