I have been informed that Dr. Thorn advised Mr. Ashe not to appear before the Committee of Public Accounts. I will ask him again. He is here as a witness so I want him to be clear in order that he does not mislead the committee. It is not a good position for someone to be in if he or she misleads the Committee of Public Accounts. Did Dr. Thorn advise Mr. Ashe not to appear before the Committee of Public Accounts? Did he offer that opinion at any time?
