We don't use our Facebook page for marketing or anything. That was old, from when we first started.

I didn't specifically market myself to BeLeave.

Chief Operating Officer, AggregateIQ
I don't know. As I said, that will be a question for Mr. Grimes.

Okay, you don't know how they knew about you.
How did the DUP know about you?

I know that.
How did Veterans for Britain know about you?

I believe Mr. Massingham had heard they were looking for someone to do advertising.

Frank Baylis Liberal Pierrefonds—Dollard, QC
Someone had told him they were looking for help.
Okay, who told Mr. Massingham?
11:15 a.m.
Chief Operating Officer, AggregateIQ
I asked Mr. Massingham. He doesn't recall specifically.
11:15 a.m.
Chief Operating Officer, AggregateIQ
Because you asked, I did look through email communications and provided all of that to you.

Frank Baylis Liberal Pierrefonds—Dollard, QC
If I understand this, you never went to the United Kingdom during this whole time. Is that correct?
11:15 a.m.
Chief Operating Officer, AggregateIQ
I have been there, but not during Brexit.
11:15 a.m.
Liberal
Frank Baylis Liberal Pierrefonds—Dollard, QC
Not during the Brexit vote and not in the lead-up to the Brexit vote when the coordination may have taken place.
11:15 a.m.
Chief Operating Officer, AggregateIQ
No. Again, as I said, I don't know when the coordination took place.
11:15 a.m.
Liberal
Frank Baylis Liberal Pierrefonds—Dollard, QC
Did Mr. Massingham go to the U.K. prior to the Brexit vote?
11:15 a.m.
Chief Operating Officer, AggregateIQ
Yes, he was in the U.K. for a period of time then.

Those donations are legal; the coordination is not.
Mr. Massingham goes there and suddenly he knows about BeLeave, and you don't know how they know about you. We can assume it's not through your website and you did no marketing for them, but somehow they know, and you don't know. But Mr. Massingham now is in the United Kingdom and that makes him subject to their jurisdictions.
This coordination took place. You are the centrepiece of that coordination. Is that correct?
