Mr. Culhane said in this letter that he found the record of the meeting and the statements made by Mr. Barrett to be very disturbing and alarming. This was his reference to issues such as that John Barrett was not satisfied with how the CAO dealt with issues, that issues were not brought to the attention of legal and were not brought to the audit committee in time. He stated this matter was not going to go away and that he would pursue the matter. He said the Commissioner, which is Ms O'Sullivan, should do a section 41 disclosure, that the Comptroller and Auditor General's office should be informed and so on. He is, to me, stating the obvious. What the head of the finance directorate is saying is that he found it very disturbing and alarming. When Mr O'Sullivan read it, what was her view?
