I will get to the context of the question in a few minutes because that is important for me too. Professor Donnelly and I are on friendly terms and we have had several meetings. He is well aware that I am very supportive of the institute's work and of it becoming a university. I refer to a cold call I received from Professor Donnelly, which would not be unusual given, as I said, we have met several times and have a cordial, friendly relationship. The call was in relation to Professor Donnelly's previous appearance before the Committee of Public Accounts and a response he gave to a question he was asked, which was inaccurate, in respect of which he was seeking advice. The advice I gave was that he should write to the committee secretariat with a view to having the record of the proceedings corrected. Is that correct?
