Mr. Chairman, I just think I should inform the committee regarding the July 9, 2002, meeting with Charles Guité that the meeting was held in camera. It was held in camera on the understanding that the testimony would not be made public until such time as all charges and subsequent appeals, and so on, had been dealt with, if charges were laid. And in the event that no charges were laid, I think it was to be held in camera for either two or three years. I think it was three years.
There was a meeting of the public accounts committee when Mr. Guité was appearing in 2004, I guess it would have been. Do you remember, Mr. O'Neal? It was 2004. He waived that right for the testimony to be retained for three years. Therefore, based on that, the testimony was made public.
There was also another in camera meeting at that time. It was held with a Mr. Tremblay. Mr. Tremblay passed away; therefore, on the second or third anniversary of the date, as the chair at that time, I caused the information to be made public. But he, of course, never appeared before the Gomery commission. Therefore, there was no comparison to be made on the testimony by Mr. Tremblay.
