Up to seven minutes; I'll be brief.
I realize that some of the drama in the room today would probably merit an Oscar, an Academy Award of some sort.
Mr. Pelletier, the last time you appeared before this committee, you said that you had given Mr. Guité some suggestions. Perhaps the English word was “input” rather than “suggestions”. You said that the Prime Minister's Office had played no role in selecting the intermediaries, agencies or businesses that did business with the government in the context of the sponsored events. You said that you played no role in awarding contracts, establishing costs or the administration of the program.
Could you confirm that a political opinion was offered, but not an opinion on the administration, management of the program?
