Okay, but the fact is the Commissioner did not do one. The second issue is that we need to know if and at what length the McGee and Barrett reports were discussed at that meeting. The Commissioner's decision as based on the basic or more extended knowledge she has is a critical issue for our committee in terms of making deliberations and reporting on this. The decision not to do a section 41, not to inform the internal auditor until March 2016, and not to inform the Comptroller and Auditor General, despite his evidence here today, is based on the documentation and discussion at that meeting, which is a highly disputed meeting.
