There was also a very serious disagreement, was there not, between Mr. Culhane and Ken Ruane of audit, when Mr. Ruane was indicating he should contact the Attorney General. It is stated on page 3:
MC [Mr. Culhane] said he was shocked by what had just been said by KR [Ken Ruane] in that there was nothing complex or difficult about this issue and why would the issue have to be elevated to the Attorney General's Office without all the relevant documents and facts being in KR's possession ... He finds it extraordinary that without being in possession of the full documents or facts that KR is already concluding that it will be necessary to bring in the Attorney General's Office...
Whose call would it have been to bring that to the attention of the Attorney General's office?
