Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.

Thank you for being here today, Mr. Weiner.

We are concerned by a number of very serious matters. If you are outraged, you are not alone. We are too. I would like to put a few things into perspective. You were a member of the Conservative Party for almost 10 years and you are known as a fundraiser for the ADQ and the Conservative Party.

You supported Mr. Harper in the Conservative leadership race. In April 2009, you gave $1,000 to the Conservative riding association in Laval-Les Îles. Two months later, you were appointed as chairman of the board of the Old Port of Montréal Corporation.

Are you one of a number of the Conservative government's patronage appointments?
