Thank you, Mr. Chair; and thank you, Ms. Cameron, for appearing before us today.
I would like to bring us back to the study we're working on. I'd like to start by considering your involvement in the letter of request that was sent to the Swiss authorities that resulted in the $2.1 million settlement that Canadians had to pay.
You're undoubtedly aware that on February 25, 2004, a reporter by the name of Kirk Makin wrote an article in The Globe and Mail that identified you as an informant for the RCMP. You've made a couple of comments about your status as an informant. I don't really want to get into the debate about whether or not you were a confidential informant or a casual informant. I just really want to know if you provided information to the RCMP.
