Mr. Masson, who said his business was to know all people "who have a close or a remote connection with construction," testified he had succeeded in obtaining contracts through his association with Denis. However, Denis had not pro- vided contracts personally. He had merely introduced the busi- ness representative to other people like engineers, "He helped me obtain them . . . he didn't obtain them himself." He said he had regular con \tact with "five or six' federal departments of which defence construction and public works were two. Prior to March, Masson had worked for Benta Construction, a Montreal company specializ- ing in the erection of concrete pylons. His position had been vice-president and chief of pub- lic relations. After that he became associ- ated with Gignac who was sup- plying most of the funds for two companies headed by. Masson. REJECTS IDEA Masson rejected the sugges- tion by counsel for the New Democratic Party that the only reason Gignac wanted him as a partner was for his "powerful political contacts."
