Government Operations committee  All I know is what I can tell you. I don't know anything else that you're referring to. All I know is that when an assistant in Helena's office would make a change to her schedule and send the invite to me, it was updated automatically if I accepted it.

Government Operations committee  I couldn't see her schedule?

Government Operations committee  No, but if they were sending me all the pertinent information to my BlackBerry about her schedule and I accepted it, then it would update on mine.

Government Operations committee  It's fair, except we only ever talked once after the election. I haven't met him in a physical meeting other than this exchange we had on the cellphone. I would have liked to, but I just hadn't met him or talked to him other than that call.

Government Operations committee  Again, you have to put it in context. I didn't take any contracts from anyone to lobby anyone. I didn't ask for any government money, other than those initial summaries that went in. We never put any applications in for government money. My whole social network comes from almost 12 years of being an MP.

Government Operations committee  You will have access to your party. Let's say the Liberal Party forms a government again. You will have access to those people after your time of service here. It won't change. But it's how you use that access. If you are planning to abuse it, which I doubt you will, you will do the same thing I did.

Government Operations committee  To clarify, that meeting we had in the office was not for any business. It was personal business at the request of Mr. Wenger.

Government Operations committee  No, it wasn't to do with personal business. I can recount the whole story of what happened, because I remember. Maybe I should, if that's what the statement says. I haven't seen this, so if you could—

Government Operations committee  At his request.

Government Operations committee  I was caucus chair before my defeat.

Government Operations committee  Well, it wasn't a fulsome statement, because I couldn't recall that this happened on one occasion.

Government Operations committee  That's right.

Government Operations committee  Obviously when you serve as an MP, as you do, you have a number of business suits that you use. I stopped using business suits; I wasn't doing much business right after the election. I didn't even go through my suits. I just hung them up.

Government Operations committee  There was an old card—a couple of old cards—when I showed up at this meeting. Unfortunately, I didn't have my current business cards—

Government Operations committee  Yes. There were a number of suits that I wore when I was an MP.
