Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
I must admit I'm a little uncomfortable today. In fact, I told Mr. Ménard that myself. With no evidence to the contrary, I have absolutely no reason to question his integrity or credibility. In my mind, there was a problem because of the fact that he had been running at the provincial level and was doing something at the federal level 17 years later. However, you, Mr. Ménard, decided to face the storm. So, we are going to play the game and ask questions in order to shed light on all of this, since that is what you want.
First of all, you said you refused the $10,000. Was the money in denominations of $1,000? What exactly did you see?
