Thank you.
RSM International were the receivers with respect to that Olympus United Funds Corporation, and their view was that we should have caught the fraud. Unfortunately, we did not catch the fraud and we did settle with respect to Olympus. We paid $7.5 million to the receiver. RSM International were also the receivers when there was no redemption reimbursed with respect to the funds.
We have looked very carefully at this. There is no connection that we see between the Olympus fund and Cinar.

I'm sorry, Mr. Chair.
We certainly need more time to question the witnesses. There's a lot of important testimony, particularly on KPMG's actions following the revelations that aired at the end of February on Enquête and The Fifth Estate.
I want to come back to this issue from your own testimony, Ms. Iacovelli. You have stated on the record that shell companies, client companies, were not offered after 2003. In the past, KPMG has validated that the Montreal office was behind the incorporation of Parrhesia on December 17, 2001, at the same time as the “sword” companies.
Since this wasn't offered since 2003, imagine my surprise when we went online to find out when Parrhesia was actually dissolved. It was dissolved 43 days ago, on March 24, 2021, just three weeks after the bombshell revelations from The Fifth Estateand Enquête. How can KPMG pretend they weren't offering that after 2003 when the corporate registry says very clearly that it was only after Enquête and The Fifth Estate came forward that the company was dissolved?

My question is for Senator Downe, Ms. Watson, Ms. Daviau, Mr. Campbell and Mr. Cohen.
CBC/Radio-Canada published an article suggesting a potential connection between KPMG and the four sword companies in the Isle of Man, and KPMG is telling us that there is no connection.
Who do you think is right?

I would say that Mr. Cashore of The Fifth Estate has been working on this since 2016, and I think there are a lot of very important coincidences. There have also been tax experts on the show who said it was too much of a coincidence, so yes, I would say there is a link.

Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I beg to correct you. The beneficial ownership registry was supported by the other two parties. The NDP pushed for a publicly accessible beneficial ownership registry, and as we can see from the report on snow washing, it was declined by the other parties, so I'm very glad to see that the idea of a publicly accessible beneficial ownership registry has now come back.
I want to come back to Ms. Iacovelli.
There are two directors for Parrhesia. Nigel Glazier Scott and Paul Joseph Valentine Dougherty were directors of Parrhesia, which was incorporated by KPMG and, as I mentioned, was summarily dissolved 43 days ago. They are the same directors for the “sword” companies.
Could you tell us if there's a connection between these two individuals, Nigel Glazier Scott and Paul Joseph Valentine Dougherty, and KPMG?

With respect to the fact that they were the same directors, again it speaks to what the corporate service providers offer. They set up these corporations. They prepare documents and articles that they provide to shareholders. They also arrange for manager shareholders and directors, so I'm not surprised that they would be the same directors. Corporate service providers make all of those arrangements.

Again, Mr. Julian, can I make a clarification on something?

Thank you.
I just want to clarify that we stopped offering the product in 2003. The last time we offered it was in 2003. We did not manage the structure after that time, so I don't have information as to when any of these companies were dissolved. I just want to make that point of clarification.
We have provided the CRA with all of the information on the 16 implementations we've done.

You'd have to ask that question, sir, to ESDC. We were very clear with ESDC why we felt it was necessary to put the contract in that foundation body because of the request to take on the liability for 40,000 young people during the pandemic, and it was a last-moment request during the contract negotiations.
