No, I did not say the assistant commissioner said it. The only reason I am interrupting is that we are short of time. I do not do so to be rude but purely because we are caught for time. I do not believe Assistant Commissioner O'Driscoll has appeared before the committee previously, at least not before me. Basically, all I am asking him to do is confirm that once he commenced his work, he took a bottom-up approach to gathering all the data and information to make the decisions he made.
