I have the note that was given to the Committee of Public Accounts. Is it not also the case that the Commissioner was asked to inform the Minister of the stations she had selected? The letter stated a decision to reopen a particular station was a matter for the Commissioner, that the criteria provided were for guidance and that the Commissioner could decide whether to apply all, any or none of the criteria in reaching her decision. I take it that the Commissioner could have thanked the Minister for offering the criteria, but she made a decision to use different criteria.
