We have no idea.
Again, I remind you and the honourable committee that I personally was not aware of this until after the campaign was completed and not really in any detail until the news report came out in April. The money was not spent by us.
Mrs. Singleton and Mr. Barnes were both.... More specifically, Mr. Barnes, my official agent, was directed by a gentleman, Mr. Hudson of the Conservative Party of Canada, once funds had been transferred to our account.... It was explained that 60% of that amount could then be claimed on our election return--which seemed unusual, but nevertheless they were following directions--but that the amount of money transferred to our account would then have to be returned to the Conservative Party of Canada as soon as possible.
