Seven key questions from Tuesday's committee meeting:

Liberal MP Ralph Goodale: You made an arrangement with Prime Minister Mulroney on June 23, 1993, at Harrington Lake, to provide him with $500,000. Is that correct?

Karlheinz Schreiber: No.
[...]

Conservative MP David Tilson: June 25, 1993...did you ever give Prime Minister Mulroney cash or other financial consideration for any service that he provided to you?

Karlheinz Schreiber: No.
[...]

Conservative MP Dean Del Mastro: So, Mr. Schreiber, what you're saying is that there were discussions at Harrington Lake, just that you would work together. No money changed hands. There was no talk of money. There was no talk of how much it would be, just that you would work together in the future. That was the discussion.

Karlheinz Schreiber: Absolutely.

Conservative MP Dean Del Mastro: When Brian Mulroney spoke in the Airbus inquiry in 1996, he was talking about a historical perspective. He said, "I had never had any dealings with him. I had never had any dealings with him." Had you ever had any private dealings with Mr. Mulroney when the Airbus purchase was going on? Had you ever had any private dealings with him? Had you ever paid him any money personally?

Karlheinz Schreiber: No.

Conservative MP Dean Del Mastro: No, you had not. So his statement that he gave during the Airbus inquiry in 1996, "I had never had any dealings with him," is accurate.

Karlheinz Schreiber: In my opinion, yes, because Kim Campbell didn't take place and nothing else was on and the only business we later discussed was the pasta business. There was nothing else.
[...]

NDP MP Thomas Mulcair: Who else did you give money to, Mr. Schreiber?

Karlheinz Schreiber: Nobody. Do you mean in Canada or where? What —

NDP MP Thomas Mulcair: In Canada, were there no other politicians, no other senior officials?

Karlheinz Schreiber: No.
