Jacques Gourde Conservative Lévis—Lotbinière, QC
I have one more question for you. I have a minute left.
As to that famous one million dollar contract, that can be a lot of money or not much, depending on the services offered.
What services did you offer with that million dollars, over two or three days, to the side of the campaign that absolutely wanted to win and was willing to do anything to get there?
Did those people overpay for the services you provided them?
12:15 p.m.
Chief Executive Officer, AggregateIQ
No, I don't believe so.
The vast majority of that million dollars went into buying tens of millions of online ads for BeLeave.

Thank you, Mr. Massingham.
Thanks for clarifying the corporate structure and the role of Chris Shannon, who you say is your third partner. You say Matt Watson is not part of the corporate structure of AggregateIQ. Is that correct?
