I hear what Mr. Justice Hedigan is saying. I do not want to labour the point that anybody who reads his statement could infer that the banks did a good thing by waiving that right, but the banks were completely in the wrong. They were in the wrong as opposed to being consumer-focused and customer-centred. I will not labour the point, but, if one wants to build trust where there is a clear issue of inappropriate culture at very senior levels of the bank, one must be willing to call it out, regardless of who is sitting in the courts or supplying funding. One must be willing to call it out in a way that will gain the trust of the public.
