I thank the witnesses. I will pick up where we finished there. In Mr. Moloney's opening statement, he was very clear, and Ms Duff just clarified that point. Mr. Moloney pointedly said, "... in relation to shared services I rely on a letter of assurance [from the accounting officer] from the National Shared Services Office." Was he trying to draw some kind of distinction between his governance responsibilities as it relates to the NSSO versus all of his other governance responsibilities or what was his purpose or motivation in clarifying that point?
