We were asking about Hunter Watson, who is in the AggregateIQ database. Is that correct?

Well, one of the people with access to your AggregateIQ database is Hunter Watson. Is that not correct?

My job is getting Mrs. Brady's hydro turned back on in the morning when she's cut off.
I just want to know about your company's server—the one that was open and had all the issues that led to this Facebook issue. Hunter Watson has access rights to that. Is that correct?

Chief Executive Officer, AggregateIQ
Presumably, yes. He was a co-op employee of ours.

I don't have the exact date, but I'm sure that would be reflected in the document that I sent you.

Okay, but there were only four of you. There was you, Chris Shannon, Jeff Silvester and Matt Watson. One of the four left. So when did he leave?

Chief Executive Officer, AggregateIQ
I'm not sure of the exact date, but I'm sure that will be in the document we provided.

Just as an aside, are you alone in the room? Are you getting coaching? Are you with somebody?

Okay, good.
I'm interested. In July 2017, you responded to a journalist's request for information about the contract between Vote Leave and your company, AggregateIQ. You requested an exemption because you had “bespoke terms” with Vote Leave and you were worried that it might differ from other clients and impact commercial arrangements with other clients. What were the bespoke terms with Vote Leave?
