Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Martelli, for your very clear and concise testimony. I assure you, don't be deterred by the smokescreen these guys are throwing up. Your moral compass is operating a lot better than the moral sextant that guides the Conservative Party of Canada, believe me. You seem to know the difference between right and wrong. To you, it strikes you as wrong to take $14,000 and pretend it was a local expense when in fact it was part of the national campaign's expense.
No amount of bafflegab is going to take the stink off what the Conservative Party has done in this election financing scheme. A stand-up guy like you is here to add some clarity to this, and I for one appreciate you being here and not falling for this kind of mischief that we're seeing over here.
This is the kind of thing that turns people off politics, Mr. Martelli, and I wouldn't blame you if you feel a little bit jaded after your experience as well.
