When you were an employee at the Montreal office, your office did offer offshore products to your clients. That was something you did in the course of your work at KPMG in Montreal. You said you had two clients, or you were at least involved in offering offshore products on two occasions.

Okay.
I really want to know about the scope. I'll go a little further with the question just to ask about the scope of overseas products offered in the Montreal office when the witness was there. I think he said in his opening statement that on a couple of occasions, he'd been involved in that.
Can he comment? Was tax planning involving overseas products a common or widely used strategy in the Montreal office when he worked there?

Actually, the product, what we call OCS planning, that is to say the foreign company structure, was offered on a national basis, not only in Montreal.
However, in terms of my responsibility to the clients, my involvement in both situations was from Montreal.

The planning was developed by a group of senior tax experts, led by a man named Barrie Philp, and it was developed on a national level. The analysis was done on a national level. Then it was explained locally, in each of the provinces. When the situation was appropriate, it was discussed with the client and, if they agreed, it was implemented.

I'm not sure that was an answer to my question. I wanted to know when.
Was there a date or a time period at which KPMG stopped offering overseas products? I think the earlier testimony suggested that there was a time at which KPMG ceased offering this kind of tax plan.

KPMG did an overall assessment and stopped offering those products in 2002, 2003 or 2004. In fact, the decision was the firm's, not the local office in Montreal. That's why I hesitated. That decision was made by the firm on a national basis.

It would be difficult for me to give you the reasons for that decision, because I was not part of the committee that made the decision to no longer recommend the structure.

Were you involved or did you have any interaction with the Canada Revenue Agency over the allegations around the Cinar fraud? I know that you've denied that you were involved, but did either the CRA or any other investigative bodies question you or your company over these allegations?

As I mentioned, I am not familiar with the Cinar affair, except that I was informed about it by the firm. I imagine that requests were made to the firm. Some of my former colleagues at the national level asked me if I had heard of this company and I told them that I did not know this organization or the people involved. So it was easy for me to answer that question. I guess the—
