Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Mr. Martelli, there's no point in getting upset about the people from the party in power. You need to know that for seven months, in the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs, they put a spanner in the works to make sure that you would be unable to talk about your circumstances before parliamentarians. That is why the matter ended up with the Standing Committee on Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics. Moreover, the former Chair of the Standing Committee on Procedure and House Affairs, Mr. Goodyear, is here. You get the idea about their strategy for preventing things from moving forward, and for putting a spanner in the works.
The transfer of invoices is the big problem. That is entirely what this is about. You are right: 15 political parties ran candidates in the last election and only one of them is being investigated by Elections Canada, the Conservative Party of Canada. You are completely right. When it goes to siphon off from elsewhere... Even Mr. Del Mastro's lie when he said that you had not received 10% of the votes, shows how they operate, which is to draw attention elsewhere.
I would like to know whether, at one time or another, people from the Conservative Party required you to get involved in the infamous $14,000 scheme?
