Oh, okay. Were some of these cocktails held by someone who is affiliated in some way with the Conservative Party?

As an Individual
No. This is was the only cocktail or fundraiser that I went to for the Conservative Party.

Yes. In the testimony last week, I think Public Works was quite clear on the fact that the contract did not actually assist Sauvé; it actually hurt Sauvé.
I know that she wasn't here at that particular meeting, so if she goes back and reviews the transcript, she'll see that her last question was actually incorrect.

It has nothing to do with the rules of the House. It has nothing to do with the rules of the committee. It does not have anything to do with the usual procedures before this committee. It is rather to be interpreted as a point of interruption.
Ms. Bourgeois, you have eight minutes.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I would simply like to tell you that I may be sharing my allotted time with my colleague Mr. Lemay.
Madam, sir, I apologize for being late. I was detained elsewhere.
First of all, you said you knew no one at that cocktail party. Is that correct?

In response to Madame Folco asking how many people we saw there, I would say to you that Mr. Sauvé was there and we have met him before. Mr. Clavier was there. They were the only two people I absolutely recognized, who I knew. I knew no one else at that party.
