I am reading Mr. Quinn's opening statement. Stripping away the middle part of it, in terms of Mr. Quinn's response to the sale of the Government jet it is somewhat extraordinary. Mr. Quinn states that, "There is no disagreement with the report of the Comptroller and Auditor General that an assessment of costs was necessary.", but goes on to state at the end, "As Accounting Officer for the Department of Defence, I am satisfied with the value achieved in the sale of the aircraft and spares ...". Essentially, Mr. Quinn is saying that the end justifies the means. Could Mr. Quinn comment on that first?
