Well, “From Rahim” was written at the top of this one.
What's very interesting is that of course we heard testimony before this committee that if they had received any indication that there would have been approval by this, or quasi-approval, then there might have been a finder's fee. We heard that from testimony earlier.
But in the interest of time, I want to turn to Mr. Maley, the ADM for Western Economic Diversification.
In April 2009, Scott Wenger, who's the senior staff to Minister Prentice, met with Rahim Jaffer in an office assigned to Helena Guergis to discuss a proposal on behalf of RLP Energy. We know that Mr. Wenger instructed you to evaluate the proposal and you asked officials to review it “on a priority basis, as you need to get back to Rahim”.
Was there any pressure exerted by the minister's office that required your need to “get back to Rahim”?
