Thank you, Chair.
I'm listening to a conflation of a lot of unrelated matters to weave a fanciful tapestry of intrigue here. The fact is that we don't have any real hard evidence of any wrongdoing to speak of.
Regarding the witnesses, Mr. Cullen said that the people who are alleged to be involved are not on our list. Alleged by whom? We have no one who has come forward, who has self-identified as being privy to the kinds of discussions that are under way here, and who has made, as far as I'm aware, allegations regarding any individuals. So the notion that the people who are alleged to be involved.... The opposition certainly has made allegations of this kind, but these are self-serving to their position.
Mr. Cullen also mentioned that SNC-Lavalin made $500,000 worth of contributions. That's very bizarre to me, because for at least 15 years, that has been impossible. That's been illegal. So I don't know how or where that—
