Mr. John McKeon:

"Jumps" or "suggests". If the Deputy talks to any other body that has done reports, including the Comptroller and Auditor General or the Office of the Ombudsman, he will find that the Department bends over backwards to facilitate inspectors and auditors and to give co-operation and support. Even in the case of reports that have been critical of us, as a number of Ombudsman reports have been, the authors always compliment the Department and the co-operation given without fail. In this case, the reason we sent the documents was to try to be helpful-----
