This is a company with $35-million in revenue. He was making $225,000 a year. Is it your testimony that he walked without any financial compensation?

Stephen Anderson

No. Randy Boissonnault's involvement in Global Health Imports, to my understanding, is that his portion of his ownership was moved into a trust or—

Matthew Green NDP Hamilton Centre, ON

He still owns—

As an Individual

Stephen Anderson

Randy is not operational in the business.

Matthew Green NDP Hamilton Centre, ON

—but he still owns.

11:55 a.m.

As an Individual

Stephen Anderson

I did not buy him out, if that's what your testimony is.

Matthew Green NDP Hamilton Centre, ON

That's correct, yes, because you would know that there would be filings for this. Is that not right?

11:55 a.m.

As an Individual

Stephen Anderson

I didn't buy him out.

Matthew Green NDP Hamilton Centre, ON

That's fair enough.

It's a $35-million company. You're each making $225,000 a year. Randy steps away because he's elected. His investments are now in trust. In that trust, as the owner, is it still the case that you annually receive $250,000? Is that salary or dividends?

As an Individual

Stephen Anderson

There have been no payments since 2022, since the incident that occurred in Edmonton.

Matthew Green NDP Hamilton Centre, ON

Is that because there has been no business?

11:55 a.m.

As an Individual

Stephen Anderson

The business hasn't been operating since 2022.

Matthew Green NDP Hamilton Centre, ON

What was left in the bank prior to that?

11:55 a.m.

As an Individual

Stephen Anderson

Prior to what date?

Matthew Green NDP Hamilton Centre, ON

Prior to the one you just gave.

11:55 a.m.

As an Individual

Stephen Anderson

We have been non-operational as we are trying to restart it.

Matthew Green NDP Hamilton Centre, ON

Is there money in a holding account somewhere, pending civil litigation?

11:55 a.m.

As an Individual

Stephen Anderson

There is money in court—

Matthew Green NDP Hamilton Centre, ON

Being held....

11:55 a.m.

As an Individual

Stephen Anderson

—that is being held in court, pending the outcome of the litigation.

Matthew Green NDP Hamilton Centre, ON

So you also haven't been paid out. It's frozen. Is that correct?

Stephen Anderson

That is correct.

Matthew Green NDP Hamilton Centre, ON

Who are the other five partners at Global Health Solutions?

11:55 a.m.

As an Individual

Stephen Anderson

It was managing employees who were there—

The question is, who are the other five partners?
