He never talked to you about his contract. And yet he did talk about his contract.
As an Individual
I don't even know what contract he talked about. It's quite simple. I have no idea about the contract in question, except for what came out at the start of this affair.

Following the remarks that he made about his difficulties, what steps did you take? As a political assistant, you have to forward messages. Did you forward any messages to anyone?
As an Individual
No specific message was forwarded. It was a general conversation about the fact that he was having trouble breaking into the Ottawa market. That may be a topic that my colleagues at the Ottawa office discussed, but, generally speaking, by saying that people might be complaining that it was difficult to get established and bid on government contracts.
As an Individual
I don't remember. I remember meeting Mr. Sauvé, but I don't remember who asked me, or how, or when.

As I told you, I don't remember how... I met a lot of people in the two years I was there. Don't ask me to put dates to each of the meetings and say through whom and how it happened because I don't remember.

I hope for your sake you don't want the sound bite on the news this evening to be: "I don't remember." We're going to have to work a little.
As an Individual
I've sworn an oath here to say what I know. So I'm telling you what I know.

And what you remember.
Do you often go to the Mas des Oliviers restaurant?

Mr. Varin approached us. I remember an event with... Not an event, but an element with Mr. Varin.
