Going back to the PwC report in respect of accountability, the question of sufficient tension between the executive and the board was mentioned earlier. Mr. Quinn says there was sufficient challenge and Mr. Farragher says the same but PwC says different. How did PwC arrive at a different conclusion? Mr. Farragher was saying earlier, although he did not fully expand on it, that he felt there was sufficient questions being asked of the executive by the board. Mr. Quinn has said likewise. "Challenge" is the word that is used in the report. How can the witnesses square that with the findings of the report?
