Mr. Michael O'Flynn:

The questions are valid. It is extremely concerning for those of us who put a lot of time and effort into this. It is extraordinary that we were disbanded like we were. This has been described well by colleagues from the commission. It is extraordinary to set up something like this and disband it without launching, debating or interrogating the report asking whether it represents the answer. Why did we set it up if we were not going to assess its findings and decide whether they would be the answer? It is quite extraordinary. To be fair to the Senator and the Deputy, these are very fair questions. For the sake of future commissions and structures like this, I would certainly like to know a lot more than I know at the moment, given the effort put in by many of us on the work.
