This is what Mathieu Delisle, UPAC communications employee, told a BEI investigator.
“AFL not happy, she is hysterical. […] She runs [sic] everywhere. Robert goes to the office at AFL, I understand that Robert Lafrenière is able to calm her down, ”indicate the notes of the policeman reporting Delisle’s testimony.
Delisle would then have heard Anne-Frédérick Laurence say in an enigmatic way to the ex-boss of UPAC, before the latter closed the door: “Robert is our lies. “That’s our Stone there.” »
The document does not specify which lies it is or which Peter it is.
In April 2016, journalist Louis Lacroix had however reported in a report in L’actualité that a person presenting himself as “Pierre” had contacted at least four journalists to offer them in a confidential manner a dossier of evidence collected by UPAC.
According to the notes of the police officer interrogating Delisle, Lafrenière and Laurence would have spent 10 to 15 minutes together in the office.
Subsequently, Robert Lafrenière would have returned to his office and Anne-Frédérick Laurence would have come out with a box. “She gives a thumbs up to everyone. She leaves and does not come back [sic] more, ”it is written.
