Government Operations committee I don't know what I can say, Mr. Warkentin, other than what I did in my opening statement, that this was not a habit for me to do this. That's why when I heard the allegations I was a bit surprised. Nothing on that card is relevant other than my name. The only thing it would advertise and reinforce is that I was a loser after the last election.

Government Operations committee No. I remember this directly because there was so much wildness at the time. I forget the president's name now, but when he called me or sent me an e-mail saying that there was a Conservative logo on my website, I went to it, I saw it, I said, “Oh, my goodness.” I phoned the company that hosted my website and said, “Look, can you just take the website down?

Government Operations committee I know you covered a number of issues there. Would you just like me to answer the last one?

Government Operations committee Okay. Just to be clear, you're asking me who...that personal website, the Rahim--

Rahim Jaffer
Government Operations committee Well, it would have been me because that was my website.

Rahim Jaffer
Government Operations committee You gave a huge preamble. If you'd let me just qualify.... As I mentioned during that testimony...it was a bit frazzled. As I said, I was ill-prepared. I don't think I wanted to mislead the committee; I wanted to try to be forthright. I had forgotten, quite frankly, about that website because all of our business was being done from our GPG website.

Government Operations committee Everyone at that table who I met knew, to my understanding, that I was no longer involved with the government. They knew I was defeated; they knew that it was just an odd occurrence that I had these cards. I qualified that with them. I think Mr. Harvey even said during his testimony that he didn't even know I was married to a cabinet minister.
