Mr. Kevin Cardiff:

I'll answer the question, I'm not sure that there's anything within your terms of reference that ... that deal with who I talk to and who I don't, I'll answer the question. I have had done very extensive work to prepare for this hearing, as I think you would expect. As part of that I have been granted access to old papers and files which have informed my evidence to you. If I hadn't had that you wouldn't get as much evidence from me, maybe you'd be delighted. I've also talked regularly ... to former colleagues at different levels to try and see whether, where I had gaps in my recollection, I could fill in those gaps to assist you. And I have had, we had one session in the Department of Finance where we got together a number of people who were involved, including people who were more junior in the hierarchy, so as to try to have as much information as possible so as to service your committee as well as possible. But the tone, not the tone, but the question is a bit strange. Just to be clear-----
