The Fifth Estate strong _suggested_ that it was Mulroney himself, as he 
was a friend of the business person involved in the contract. They were 
more than careful, though, not to make an outright allegation. 

They've always wondered in Montreal how a man making $100,000 a year, and 
who spent his previous fortune on two leadership campaigns, could afford 
a $2 million house in Montreal. So there's my guess.
