After testifying at the Sudbury by-election bribery trial for several hours on Tuesday, Glenn Thibeault returned to court on Wednesday.
However, essentially, all that took place was some legal wrangling.
What remained the big issue is what was 'committed' to the now Sudbury MPP and energy minister from Pat Sorbara.
At the time, Sorbara was the premier's deputy chief of staff and Thibeault an NDP MP.
Thibeault said the only commitment that was made to him was that he would have a professionally run and fully-resourced campaign.
On the issue of paid jobs for two of his staffers, and income replacement, Thibeault testified that Sorbara only said this could be 'do-able' based on past experiences.
"I think, like the Premier, I was happy to be transparent and to come here and tell my side of the story," said Thibeault, when speaking to reporters following appearance in court.
"I was able to do that. This case is still ongoing and I've been advised by my lawyers until this is complete that I really can't answer any questions. We need to let this whole process go through, but again, I was just happy to be able to tell my side of the story and be as truthful and transparent as possible"
When court resumes on October 10, the defence plans to ask that the charges against Sorbara and Gerry Lougheed Jr. be dismissed.
If the judge rejects the motion then the defence is expected to present their evidence.
Sorbara faces two bribery charges under the Election Act. Lougheed faces one charge.
