Information & Ethics committee  No.

Information & Ethics committee  Mr. Martin, it was in less than 24 hours. As I remember—and I talked to Brian yesterday—all that happened was that they faxed him a paper where he was working, to sign this document and fax it back to them. The next thing you know, he sees $14,000 in the account, and the following day $14,000 is gone.

Information & Ethics committee  Yes, sir, Mr. Michel Rivard, the accountant of the Conservative Party, in Quebec City.

Information & Ethics committee  Exactly.

Information & Ethics committee  Yes.

Information & Ethics committee  Nothing at all, Ms. Lavallée.

Information & Ethics committee  Not at all. During the election, I had only $1,000 in expenses, which the party had provided us with. When Mr. Michel Rivard came to do our tax returns, it did not take long. He asked me to sign here and there, and then left.

Information & Ethics committee  Mr. Rivard did my income tax returns for the election.

Information & Ethics committee  Exactly.

Information & Ethics committee  Exactly.

Information & Ethics committee  Every time Elections Canada called me, I always cooperated.

Information & Ethics committee  I have no idea Ms. Lavallée. All I was told was that it was a straightforward in-and-out, with no explanation.

Information & Ethics committee  I was told that invoices would be prepared.

Information & Ethics committee  Never, Ms. Lavallée.

Information & Ethics committee  Not even him.
