MONTREAL, Aug. 6 /CNW Telbec/ - Subsequent to a decision by the Bureau de Décision et de Révision on August 2, 2010, Carole Morinville feels it important that a number of clarifications be made.
Firstly, it should be noted that no one implicated in the decision of the Bureau de Décision et de Révision has been contacted by the Bureau. The decision was rendered ex parte, i.e. without the individuals involved having had an opportunity to testify, provide explanations, or above all rectify certain aspects and correct many of the highly erroneous allegations and conclusions leading to this decision, including the following:
- Contrary to what is indicated in the decision by the Bureau, no civil proceedings have been instituted; - Contrary to what is indicated in the decision by the Bureau, only Ms. Morinville and/or her businesses are involved in the case in question; - Contrary to what is indicated in the decision by the Bureau, Roberto Diano, spouse of Ms. Morinville, has never directly or indirectly participated in any type of investment solicitation among investors. Mtl Bagel Box and Mtl Bagel Co. The speculation surrounding the possible involvement of Ms. Morinville's husband and the company he heads, Mtl Bagel Box, is unfounded. The company, which has been solely dedicated to the production and sale of bagel bites since April 26, 2010 and has never approached clients of Carole Morinville, Agence Carole Morinville or Carole Morinville et Associés to invest in the business. Therefore, the activities of Ms. Morinville which are under investigation involve neither Roberto Diano nor the business of which he is a director and majority shareholder. Collaboration necessary and welcome To date, neither the AMF nor the Bureau de Décision et de Révision has communicated with Carole Morinville. Ms. Morinville nevertheless intends to offer her full cooperation to the organizations in charge of the investigation and will be completely transparent in her dealings with them.
Please note that no interviews will be given.
