And without railing too hard against the Bar Society, they were neither here nor there in Quebec.

But it's like, as an independent practitioner, you get audited a whole hell of a lot more than the big firms, and you don't get away with a damn penny.

Like, literally, one of my funny stories was our trust account had accrued interest for a small interval because the bank had set the trust account up as an interest-bearing account when they weren't supposed to.

I had, like, a matter of cents that had accrued as interest, and it was like, it must have cost $5,000 with accountants and the Bar Society to resolve that, but bigger firms...

They don't apply the rules the same way, but the reality is, though, historically, people have always hated lawyers, and there's a damn good reason, and we're witnessing it in real time right now.

Well, I'll say maybe I'm tainted by my own personal experience.

So she had the one property where she lied about her father being her husband.

She had another property where she lied about the number of rooms.

This was in respect of a third property, which was a hundred and some odd thousand dollars, that she declared would serve as a secondary residence.

that she subsequently rented out.

And so, you know, the question is going to be, did she lie with intent at the time or did the circumstances change?

Whatever.

But Schiff did the exact same thing.
