It is central to the work of this committee to know, at the least, whether there is any difficulty in any bank that has caused the witnesses to talk to the Central Bank. I am not saying the witnesses' bank has any difficulty but that generally, out of respect, we should be informed. That is all I am asking. I am now finding out that, irrespective of whether there is a difficulty in regard to the bank, the witnesses are not going to comment. I am sure the public will be convinced by all of this.
