When we wrap up, I will allow time to the delegates to make closing remarks rather than just end with responses from the last speaker.

I will move on to remarks made in the House of Commons and the US Senate debates. I would like to hear the views and interpretations of the delegates. Mr. McCaughey and Mr. Keegan have referred to the fact that reputational damage can be due to perception or reality. National self-interest is an issue also. I am interested in hearing Mr. Keegan’s interpretation of the reports, the motivation behind them, what was legitimate in the reports and what was not so prominent in the content that did not enter into the public domain.
