The note of the minutes of the meeting say, "The CAO noted that work has progressed on this matter for a number of years and the CAO pointed out that the group will consider whether external involvement is warranted but it is not required at this point in time." When I put those questions to Mr. Dunne when he was before the committee, he said that it involved and included the Comptroller and Auditor General, the Committee of Public Accounts and others. Here we have a situation where the Commissioner was informed about this in July 2015, she was obviously concerned enough to establish the steering group, the steering group met and one of its discussions was around whether external players should have been informed, and they were not informed. Would the Commissioner see this as satisfactory?
