I can assure Mr. O'Flynn that they have serious questions to answer when they come before the committee. I refer to the fund administered by Mr. Merrigan who carried out or commissioned his own Grant Thornton report. He commissioned it to forensically review the transactions of the account. It is referred to in paragraph 1.27 of the Comptroller and Auditor General's report. Mr. Merrigan would not make that report available to the Comptroller and Auditor General. Did Mr. O'Flynn discuss at any time with Mr. Merrigan as to why he would not make it available?
