I have no idea. It has been for four or five years with an excellent judge with the name of David Watt.

At a guess, how many times have you appeared before the Ontario Superior Court?

As an Individual

From 1999 to.... I have no idea.

12:20 p.m.

Conservative

Russ Hiebert Conservative South Surrey—White Rock—Cloverdale, BC

Would it be five, ten, twenty?

12:20 p.m.

As an Individual

Karlheinz Schreiber

I have no idea; it could be twenty times, thirty times. I have no recollection any more.

12:20 p.m.

Conservative

Russ Hiebert Conservative South Surrey—White Rock—Cloverdale, BC

Okay.

How many times have you appeared before the Federal Court on this matter?

12:20 p.m.

As an Individual

Karlheinz Schreiber

The Federal Court? This is a little bit difficult to say. We had first a case around my lawsuit--

12:20 p.m.

Conservative

Russ Hiebert Conservative South Surrey—White Rock—Cloverdale, BC

Just give us a number.

12:20 p.m.

As an Individual

Karlheinz Schreiber

When the letter of request was sent to Switzerland this went up to the Supreme Court and came from the Federal Court. Then we had another Federal Court case in Halifax, and now I am in the appeal on that, yes.

12:20 p.m.

Conservative

Russ Hiebert Conservative South Surrey—White Rock—Cloverdale, BC

So it was several times?

How many times have you appealed your extradition to the Ontario Court of Appeal?

12:20 p.m.

As an Individual

Karlheinz Schreiber

I don't know.

12:20 p.m.

Conservative

Russ Hiebert Conservative South Surrey—White Rock—Cloverdale, BC

Just a guess--how many times?

12:20 p.m.

As an Individual

Karlheinz Schreiber

Three, four, five.

12:20 p.m.

Conservative

Russ Hiebert Conservative South Surrey—White Rock—Cloverdale, BC

Three or four or five times; okay.

12:20 p.m.

12:20 p.m.

Conservative

Russ Hiebert Conservative South Surrey—White Rock—Cloverdale, BC

Okay.

How many times have you appealed your extradition to the Supreme Court of Canada?

12:20 p.m.

As an Individual

Karlheinz Schreiber

I think.... Now, we have to be careful what we are talking about. One is the normal process. The extradition comes from the extradition court. It takes also the decision from the minister. Then it goes to the appeal court, and then it goes to the Supreme Court. That's number one. But I had other questions to be dealt with, which went up to the Supreme Court in asking for leave. That was the pre-judgment in Germany or other items, yes.

12:20 p.m.

Conservative

Russ Hiebert Conservative South Surrey—White Rock—Cloverdale, BC

Or appealed.

Conservative

Russ Hiebert Conservative South Surrey—White Rock—Cloverdale, BC

Okay.

Mr. Schreiber, after The Fifth Estate program on February 8, 2006, did you meet with the RCMP in your lawyer's office?

12:25 p.m.

As an Individual

Karlheinz Schreiber

Yes.

Now I'll make it very simple for you. I asked them to meet with me after we met in the courtroom with Superintendent Matthews. I met with him several times at the Westin related to the MBB stuff. I told them, “If you are not going to stop this nonsense, you may be the next one who is going to sell hot dogs.” But it has nothing to do with Airbus, and this is my point. Don't mix them, please.
