I will finish on this point. I put it to Mr. Blair that he deliberately concealed the fact that he was a director of that company from this committee today in response to questions from Senator Horkan and the Chair. When I put it to Mr. Blair that he had so little knowledge of the company he answered by saying he was not involved in a separate entity, namely, GRG, but at no time did he disclose, until I put the records to him, that he was a director of this company, thus requiring a correction to the record of this committee.

Mr. Blair and a number of his colleagues, at a time when other directors were being brought before the House of Commons select committee, resigned from the company. What was his motivation in resigning?
