All right. Very well, thank you.
I'd like to talk to you about the Weinberg, Norshield and Mount Real scandal.
To the best of your knowledge, did KPMG have any close or remote ties to the money managed and stolen by Mr. Weinberg, Norshield and Mount Real?

I will say the same thing that I said earlier: there are two parts to your question.
Personally speaking, I believe that I was pretty clear. I have no knowledge of this case and I've never worked on it. In fact, I'm learning more about it piece by piece this afternoon.
As for the answer that relates to KPMG Canada as a whole, my colleague answered that question. She said that the firm has no ties with the case.
You understand, Mr. Ste‑Marie, that I can only confirm what I've read. I can't confirm things that I'm unaware of.

Yes, I understand. The real purpose of my questions is to determine whether you personally had any knowledge of that.

Thank you for your answers.
Do you have any knowledge of Parrhesia? Did you at any point have any ties, close or distant, to this company? Do you know anyone that did business with Parrhesia? Is it possible that KPMG had ties to it?

I'll give you the same answer as before. The first time that I heard about Parrhesia was in the media. I have zero knowledge of this company. With regard to KPMG, my colleague covered the topic, and I trust KPMG.

Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you for your patience, Mr. Bilodeau. Given the technical difficulties, we weren't able to ask all our questions. We'll surely have to ask you to appear before the committee another time.
Here is my first question that I would like to ask you. What was the most senior position that you held at KPMG?

I was a partner. There are now two categories of partners. However, when I was a partner, there was a long period where there was just one level of partners.

Weren't you the senior vice‑president of the tax division?

Yes. In 2014, when I was 58 or 59, I decided to slow down and no longer work as a partner. I stepped down, but I maintained ties with KPMG. I continued on as a consultant with a vice‑president title.

So, you were the senior vice‑president of the tax division. That's an impressive title.
And you're telling us that, as senior vice‑president of the tax division, you were in no way part of the risk management committee.

My colleagues on the risk management committee are generally seasoned employees from most Canadian provinces. They come from large firms, such as those in Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver and Calgary.

Yes, but you should be aware of who was on that committee. It's an important committee. So, who were the members of the risk management committee?
