Thank you, Madam Chair. I appreciate the questioning time.
Thank you, gentlemen, for showing up this afternoon. We appreciate your testimony before our committee.
I'm still trying to get a handle on fully understanding what Mr. Glémaud and Mr. Jaffer were doing in terms of a business structure. I hear today that they were submitting applications that had the names of your companies on them. It seems strange that these gentlemen would be proposing any type of government subsidy for your companies without any type of arrangement with you gentlemen for how they might be paid if they ever received funding.
We heard from them that they were submitting requests for information about certain companies. You testified you didn't expect anything would be forthcoming in your relationship after you first met. But I'm curious whether there was a discussion that if your relationship were to proceed, they might do this and you might do that.
Were there any of those types of conversations, where if they were submitting and found an avenue for either of your companies to receive funding, they would proceed to be paid a certain number of funds, a certain number of shares, or anything like that?
