I suggest that we do not treat the witness as normal, particularly as we are usually quite robust with our witnesses. Mr. McMahon is raising genuine concerns and he is presenting his view on the matter we are here to discuss. It is up to us to then question the agencies on it. I do not believe us questioning Mr. McMahon in a robust way is the way to deal with a whistleblower or somebody who is trying to raise those issues.
