Mr. Brian Purcell:

It is our understanding that Rits is a company which is an acknowledged expert in this area. As the Minister pointed out, the company has been used by a number of private sector companies as well as Departments and agencies, including GSOC. The company is frequently asked by members of the media who are reporting on this type of issue to provide expert advice. So far as the Department is concerned, the company has an impeccable reputation.
