You would have agreed on the amount at that time. I do not know why you would have agreed on $250,000—perhaps because it was half way between $225,000 and $300,000.

Do you not agree that in this context, this document would make some sense?

Madam, I would love to satisfy you about Thyssen. I don't know what it is. I never saw this before I got it from this committee. I don't know what the $250,000 is. You have no signature from me. I refuse to backdate--

Because I brought this empty sheet. Yes, it could be that it was an empty piece of paper. I don't even know why you would have asked me about Bayerische Bitumen-Chemie in Germany.

Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Schreiber, you told CBC Radio One on November 2, and I'm going to quote you: “...I have documents and very important information placed at the safe places, so if something really would happen to me, then it would be all disclosed.”
When you said “if something would happen to me”, were you referring to being deported to Germany?

No. I had undercover agents who wanted to put me in criminal activities to get me in jail. I had kidnapping attempts in Canada and in Germany, where the prosecutors negotiated in a pizzeria and they couldn't agree on the price.
As to the journalist, what you are referring to was, “Don't you fear that you could get assassinated with what you are doing?” And I said, “Well, in that case, I have the most important things somewhere else.” But this has nothing to do with Canada; it has something to do with Germany.

Okay. So far you've provided the committee with three binders full of information, largely sourced off the Internet. In fact, I've referred to it publicly as three binders full of junk mail.

The very important documents you talked to the CBC about, are they of material importance to this committee?

They are not relevant. Okay. You've already provided--

I learned very early it's a privilege of the ignorant to broadcast nonsense.

Good. I'll take that to.... I'll do something with that in the future, I'm sure.
Have you provided the committee with all the information you have relevant to the study that's at hand?
5:15 p.m.
As an Individual
Yes. You may have noticed today that I said the account in Switzerland—and I noticed you guys haven't listened—was not for Beth Moores. It was for Bruce Verchere, and Bruce Verchere was a trustee for Mr. Mulroney. Are you with me? This is what it is, and the whole business in Ottawa was to get business done, get politics done, and make sure that when the business ended your friends participated and benefited from it. This is what it was, and it went from the government, two government, three governments, four governments, the Europeans involved, and the private collectors. This is what it was in Ottawa. And do you know what? Surprise, surprise, it was the same thing before this committee started.

Maybe you can help me. I'm curious about a question that was answered earlier. Who else attended the August meeting with you and Mr. Thibault?
