I have a package of emails from the government, emails from the chief of staff to the assistant deputy minister of Minister of Global Affairs Mélanie Joly of Trudeau's government. She wrote a summary of the $9-million condo purchase. The email states that both the consul general of New York and the head of mission—that's you, Tom Clark—“have been instrumental throughout this process,” with the head of mission—again, you, Mr. Clark—“providing the greenlight for the selection of the new residence.”
It is in writing by the department that Tom Clark—you, sir—was instrumental in the condo purchase on Billionaires' Row.
Again, Mr. Clark, when did you raise the need for a new residence with the Liberal government?
