I thank Mr. Fraser for coming today. I want to disassociate myself from some of the questions from a member who I very much respect, Deputy Brady, at the beginning. I do not think his questioning was appropriate, although I have huge respect for him as a member of our committee. He is one of the most active members on the committee. I do not think many of his questions today were relevant.

I actually came here today surprised that Mr. Fraser was coming in. I thank him for coming in to answer our questions. Clearly, he answered all the questions perfectly. He has shown our committee great respect. Our committee has done some super public service work over the last few weeks, bringing issues in relation to the appointment of Dr. Zappone into the public domain, but I do not think we have any further work to do in relation this matter. That is my own personal opinion.
