That is a very logical way of proceeding. I am sure many of the CEOs and chairpersons will be eagerly following these proceedings. It is important that the committee send a clear message that it envisages asking the CEOs and chairpersons of section 38 institutions to come before it. Regardless of whether people want to be pedantic about to whom accounts are or are not submitted, these individuals make decisions about taxpayers' money. It would be helpful if a message to the effect that we would be inviting the chairpersons and CEOs to come before us were sent, particularly in the context of these individuals making themselves available to come before us.
