I thank Mr. Carswell. He had a special position at the time of the crisis because he was a journalist and was able to see people speaking and acting publicly as well as speaking to them privately. He was able to see things like briefings behind the scenes or lobbying activities and was probably made aware of them. Was there a concern during the run-up to the crisis either personally within himself or in the profession about the extent and types of those relationships? In Mr. Carswell's opening statement he talks about cosy relationships.
