I would argue that the queries and questions this committee had in relation to this issue were very similar to the questions that will be put by members of public accounts committee. Perhaps we will discuss them when the witnesses come before that committee. That puts me in an invidious position in some ways because I am not clear as to the areas I should properly question the witnesses on. For example, I have significant questions about the restricted funds. I have questions on how the tax warehousing debt arose in such a significant way. I have questions about conflict of interest on the board. Are the witnesses in a position to answer those questions here today?
