Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis
Context Phase
Mr. Ed Mulhall:
That is a very big question. As for the committee's work, it remains to be seen what will be the impact of its recommendations. Obviously, much of how the committee's work is reviewed will come from the nexus phase and the conclusions the joint committee draws from that period. I also have an interest, to which I alluded at the end of my statement, on the policy side of what are the conclusions from this committee because frankly, the structures may change and may alter a bit but it really is on the legislative side that the members of this committee can have the most direct input. The joint committee has spokespeople present who more than likely will be spokespeople for the parties in the next election and they will have an ability to bring what they have learned from this committee's deliberations into that campaign. The policy failures of this period probably are as interesting as some of the other sides of the equation.
