When I read this, I have questions I would love to ask but I will come back to them in a moment. We should take the recommendations of the interim audit report and ask Mr. Culhane questions about the implementation of same and whether we have learned and whether we are going forward. That is what we tried to do on the previous occasion. Then we received correspondence from Mr. Barrett and Mr. Kelly and an extraordinary opening statement. Forgive me, but I will come back on track.

I believe people are swimming to save themselves at this point and I will take back that statement if I am proved wrong. I have seen correspondence from Mr. Culhane to the Commissioner in which he suggested that Mr. Barrett be charged under the Official Secrets Act. Did I misread that?
