Mr. Speaker, I met with Mr. Matthews in the circumstances I described to this House in April 1989. We discussed the Transport Canada building, which, at that time, was the subject of various proposals the government wanted. I was a lawyer. I gave my opinion on whether they were following the right procedure and on the chances of successfully obtaining the contract. It was in April 1989, as has been confirmed by Mr. LaBarge, who had it in his notes. And about the telephone call that was recorded without Mr. LaBarge's knowledge, I really do not know. All I know is that the dates are confirmed in the file in the office of the firm of lawyers I belonged to.
In the House of Commons on September 22nd, 1995. See this statement in context.
