I thank Mr. Fraser for attending the meeting. It is good of him to appear before the committee. He spoke a great deal about process and procedures. Indeed, he spoke at the finance committee in June 2021 about his belief that process and procedure are the way we should do business. I assume that, as the most senior civil servant in the country, he is an expert in process and procedure. Has he at any stage briefed Ministers, senior advisers and senior politicians on the importance of process and procedure when it comes to appointments? That is my first question.
