I welcome the witnesses and I thank Ms O'Keeffe for a comprehensive statement. It was helpful. If we had that level of candour last week, we could have saved a lot of time. I also recognise that Ms O'Leary has been truthful and up-front on the difficult position she holds. She is addressing commercial issues that would not normally be addressed in an open format. It is a little like not wanting to know how the sausages are made. They might taste good, but sometimes the ingredients are difficult to handle. I thank her for that. She did so last week as well. She was direct. She was not evasive and we owe her a debt of gratitude for that.
Mr. Lynch stated that he spoke to the director of content this morning. Please pass on our good wishes. Will he share with the committee anything he might have shared with Mr. Lynch?
