A recording is available from Parliament.
As an Individual
I'm a resident of the city of Montreal. LM Sauvé had won the City Hall renovation contract. When you see things like that, it's indeed disturbing. I pay taxes in Montreal; that troubles me.

You knew the company, but you didn't know it was having problems?

You said you spoke to a number of friends? Did you speak to anyone other than Mr. Pichet and Mr. Gagnon?

When you said you met Mr. Sauvé, I understand you were already in the restaurant and someone brought him to you?
As an Individual
I didn't say that. As I said, I don't remember the exact circumstances. There was a discussion with him, yes, at the Mas des Oliviers.

Did you meet him by chance or did you have a meal together, separately? Did someone call you and tell you he wanted to eat with you, or were you in the restaurant when you saw him?
As an Individual
As I told you, I don't remember the circumstances. I repeat what I said in response to your first questions. I'm going to give you the same answer again: I don't remember through whom, I don't remember how, but I met him at the Mas des Oliviers, and we had a discussion during which he told me about his concerns regarding the contract market in Ottawa.

Did any construction people, apart from Mr. Sauvé, come and see you to talk about renovation contracts?
