Mr. Michael Gubbins:

As the chief bureau officer I am conscious of my predecessors, and those to come. We are more than aware of the powers that have been legislated for by the Criminal Assets Bureau. There is more than 27 years of learned experience. It is quite obvious to the public and to the committee the considered and prudent manner in which we apply the legislation that is available to us to do our job. I would thank the committee for the opportunity to speak today and clarify any matters.
