We would like to see the back of this cheque. However, I believe him and I trust his affidavit.</p>\n<p>But does he not find it somewhat curious that on April 18, three days earlier, Jo\u00ebl-Denis Bellavance wrote an article in <em>La Presse</em> revealing that in addition to the Groupaction investigation, the auditor general was about to investigate Lafleur Communications Marketing and Groupe Everest?</p>\n<p>Is this not a curious coincidence that the dates match? Is the affidavit still as credible? Is the proof still as credible?</p>",
