Information & Ethics committee  The same question was asked by Mr. Mulcair.

Information & Ethics committee  I heard a statement. It was a little convoluted, but I'd like to help you—

Information & Ethics committee  What?

Information & Ethics committee  No, I don't.

Information & Ethics committee  I don't have the slightest idea. I'd also like to clarify one point. The out-of-court settlement reached in January 1997 didn't put an end to the investigation. There was a specific clause in the agreement stating that the investigation was to continue. I don't have the slightest idea where the leak came from.

Information & Ethics committee  That wasn't the first, by the way. Pardon me. I'm telling you that in passing.

Information & Ethics committee  No, the Agence France-Presse, from Switzerland. The second, I believe, was in the Der Spiegel. Then there was Maclean's magazine. At the time, we were monitoring the situation very closely to see which of the ones that had obtained that information would be the first to publish it.

Information & Ethics committee  Thank you.

Information & Ethics committee  The statement of claim? Yes, I am.

Information & Ethics committee  I heard the testimony here, so I heard the same thing you did.

Information & Ethics committee  In those details, no.

Information & Ethics committee  I remember discussing the fact that he was working on the light-armoured vehicle project. That's how he got involved with Mr. Schreiber. Further down the road, he did some work related to a pasta business project.

Information & Ethics committee  That's correct. That's what he said.

Information & Ethics committee  Harper?

Information & Ethics committee  Afterwards. I was not aware of the meeting at Harrington Lake between Prime Minister Harper and Mr. Mulroney. I found out afterwards, the way you did.
