Mr. David Cooney:
When I mentioned that we were janitors, that is a little part-time nixer we do, unpaid and out of hours. Obviously, we do a lot more than that.
I would like to thank the Chairman and the committee for the interaction I have in my time as Secretary General. I am sure I speak for Mr. Rogers when I speak of the courtesy with which we have been received. The committee does an essential job vis-à-vis the Department in applying pressure and ensuring we test our own systems. I see the work of the committee not being in any way antagonistic to the work of the Department but as being essential to it.
