The guests will be very welcome when they come back in July. When they come, they should have answers. I have sat and listened very patiently and I am none the wiser than I was at the beginning of the meeting. Far from a skill gap emerging, I see incredible dexterity and a very deliberate system to funnel moneys in particular directions. This shows remarkable skill and does not happen by accident. I am sure the Commissioner would not claim it does. The systems were consciously put in place and were in place for a very long time. Regardless of whether people understood or cared about the seriousness of what they were involved in, they demonstrated remarkable ingenuity and determination.

Mr. Kelly said he had been in position since 2007. Is that correct?
