The other question I had concerned letters coming from the Commissioner. Would they normally come directly to Mr. Purcell or would they go to the Minister? I was curious about the letter that the Minister did not see and the fact that it went directly to Mr. Purcell rather than to the Minister. In what circumstances would that have been the norm? Is it usually the case that if an issue had been brought to Mr. Purcell's attention, he would be asked to bring it to the Minister's attention or would it go directly to the Minister?
