My opinion is that Jean Chrétien never sold his golf course share to Jonas Prince on November 1, 1993. I am not a lawyer and only refined lawyers can play with selective and timed private contractual deals to obfuscate the timed intentions of the parties of such private contractual deals. What I want to say is that Jean Chrétien, Jonas Prince and all their circle of friends have been playing the private contract game to fool the electorate and in the end all the common people. We, as common people, define a contract of sale when the seller delivers the goods and transfers their ownership while the buyer accepts the goods and pays for their purchase. But for our sophisticated political and business leadership the rules of the game are different, these people make the rules of the game and they keep changing these rules and getting away with it.

Now picture millionaire Jean Chrétien, a trained lawyer with honorary law doctorates from national and international universities, and picture real estate mogul Jonas Prince, a lawyer who attended Osgoode Hall Law School and the London School of Economics, concluding an agreement to sell and buy Jean Chrétien's golf course share on November 1, 1993. The agreement is handwritten, it is not witnessed, it doesn't include Prince's signature but just his initials, and the agreement includes a purchase price of $300,000 to be paid in four equal installments with no payment schedule. And imagine this story telling when in September 1999 Jonas Prince sells the golf course share to Mr. Louis Michaud, another millionaire and already a co-owner of the golf course "161341 Canada Inc." while at this time Jean Chrétien agrees to relinquish any interest in the golf course and clear Mr. Michaud of any future legal expenses due to the eventual investigation of this deal. And guess what, Jean Chrétien was eventually paid by Jonas Prince just after Prince received the proceeds from the sale of the golf course share; and guess what, Jean Chrétien didn't have any conflict of interest with the Auberge Grand-Mère's affairs since he was not paid $300,000 but $255,000.

The saga of Jean Chrétien's sale of his golf course share is nothing else but a reflection of the abuses of the legal mentality of our leadership over the common sense of people. And a public inquiry into the wheeling dealing of our Prime Minister would do a lot of good to provide a better balance between what is legal and what is common sense.
