You are privy to the conversation with SNC-Lavalin. I have to submit that I find it very strange and indeed odd that SNC-Lavalin, knowing as they had known at that point in time for approximately 13 days, that they were not receiving a deferred prosecution agreement, would not mention it to the Clerk of the Privy Council, who is the deputy minister to the Prime Minister of Canada, and gives advice to the Prime Minister on matters of great importance.
Indeed, Mr. Clerk, I would submit that it is highly unusual that you would be taking such a meeting with an individual company. You're a very busy executive in the country. I find it surprising that you would, so quickly after they were turned down, have a meeting with SNC-Lavalin and yet not have them tell you that they were rejected by the director of public prosecutions.
Is that your testimony: that they did not tell you?
