Government Operations committee  Yes.

Government Operations committee  He is a long-time friend, about 20 years or so, of one of my business partners. He looked into the affairs of our business before I even really knew about it. He was concerned about Mr. Gillani and what he was potentially setting us up for. I first had an engagement with Mr. Snowdy in about June or July.

Government Operations committee  Yes, and to the authorities.

Government Operations committee  There is an element of it where... I tried to keep a little bit of distance between anything he had that didn't pertain to our business and anything outside of our business affairs. This whole talk about cellphone shots and busty hookers and all this kind of stuff that has made its way into the media wasn't something that concerned me as far as our business goes.

Government Operations committee  I don't, other than what's been reported in the media. But I couldn't tell you what--

Government Operations committee  No.

Government Operations committee  Yes.

Government Operations committee  No, there was nothing like that. As I said, the only communication we had around the terms of anything like that was in the e-mail that came the next day.

Government Operations committee  Outside of that, I think I had mentioned that we inquired a couple of times, but that was it.

Government Operations committee  Parliamentary business card, yes. MP, Edmonton—Strathcona, I believe. On the opposite side it was in French.

Government Operations committee  I missed most of the statement, I'm sorry.

Government Operations committee  Yes.

Government Operations committee  Would you like me to submit those at this point?

Government Operations committee  Again, I just want to clarify, the investigation isn't concerning what I've done. It's about what has happened to our company. So I just want to be clear that I'm not put in a position of jeopardy.

Government Operations committee  Thank you.
