Mr. Des Carville:

I stepped into the meeting for 20 to 25 minutes. I had two objectives in attending the meeting. The first was to get a sense of the tone of the meeting. In fairness to the Comptroller and Auditor General and my colleague, Mr. Reid - another colleague, Mr. Lenihan, was at the meeting as well - it was a very constructive meeting. It was conducted in a very professional manner.
