Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis

Context Phase

Dr. Julien Mercille:

Yes. There were directors of banks on the boards of newspapers when journalists were deciding what to write about housing. I do not think I have ever spoken to those people. Maybe I did; I am not sure. It is about making a connection. The committee has to rely on the actual coverage. Otherwise, it is a bit more speculative.
