Mr. Kevin Duffy:

I did not say that. Perhaps I did not express myself with sufficient clarity. I said I am not expressing any opinion, because I do not have one, on whether the report would have assisted workers in any particular set of circumstances. If the circumstances were similar to those discussed in the report, it probably would be of some benefit but if those circumstances were different, it would probably be of less utility. I do not know whether it would have benefited the people about whom the Senator is speaking. Perhaps I did not make myself clear but I did not express an opinion that this report, if implemented, would have been of advantage to workers in any particular situation, would have prevented any particular situation from arising or would have had any utility for workers in any particular situation. I cannot do that.
