Going back to the opening statement, which is very comprehensive, there are a number of issues. The statement mentions the work the Central Bank is doing which is aimed at serving the public interest and protecting consumers and financial services. That has been discussed throughout this meeting. This committee is currently dealing with the Department with regard to the wind-up of IBRC and all of the mess around that time. New legislation is coming forward in this regard. I brought the case of Mr. Butler to the attention of the Central Bank. He alleges wrongdoing with his account and IBRC. I was anxious issues like this would be dealt with before the entity disappeared. He still maintains his position on how he was treated, how the loan was drawn down, etc. While I cannot say whether he is right or wrong, he has an interesting story to tell with interesting paperwork to provide as evidence. In the context of that statement, what can be done to assist this man, his brother and family, who are now elderly and sick, to try to deal with the issues he wishes to be dealt with?
