No, that was Mr. Navarro-Genie. Mr. Navarro-Genie had been in Haiti, and he stayed an additional four days on what appears to be personal business, based on the information available to me--I wasn't there--and he charged the honorarium for those days for a total of $1,300. I was looking through the books in December, in part because the board budget was twice what it had been. The board budget had never been twice over, ever.
With respect to Mr. Gauthier, he was on a six-day trip to China in December, together with Mr. Beauregard and others. The others received $500 honoraria, but Mr. Gauthier, based on the records that I saw, charged $3,575, including an additional five days for preparation. Now, Mr. Gauthier has a full-time law practice, and I'm not sure how he would have spent five full days to prepare for a meeting in China in which there were exchanges of pleasantries. I think one needs to look very carefully at all the contracts that have been offered, including the contract that he had given himself; for how many days did he receive payment during the 66 days that he was president?
We have contracts to Borden Ladner Gervais; Deloitte and Touche; Ogilvy Renault; Woods, which is a big law firm in Montreal; Serco Security Systems; Prima Communication; Mr. Auger, who quit after one week as director general, a position that never existed; and Mr. Navarro-Genie.
I've estimated. I used to work in a law firm. Law firm partners Deloitte and Touche charge $500 to $600 an hour. If you add it all up, if you have an average of 1,000 or 1,500 hours, we have half a million dollars spent in just a one-month or two-month period. In times of austerity, when everyone is speaking about wise use of taxpayers' money, for a human rights organization to do that is unthinkable.
