At that time, at the beginning, I told you--I don't know whether I speak a language you don't understand--I had several reasons to help him. It was all about when I went to Harrington Lake he needed money, and I tried to find a way to give it to him, and this is what happened. If you would not do this for somebody who was involved in the reunification of your country and you thought you might participate with him, and you thought Kim Campbell would get the next government and we'd finally get the project done.... Instead of betraying a company like Thyssen in $40 million to $60 million.... We haven't spoken about this. Wait for the inquiry. What you are going to learn--you will be very surprised, I promise you.
