Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis

Context Phase

Dr. Julien Mercille:

No, there are the journalists who were interviewed in that paper, I do not know how many there were.

A few journalists who were interviewed were asked the questions the Chairman raised, including whether they felt any pressures and so on. It is not as if one needs 200 journalists to say that. It is already very good to have a few who say something very important and go against the grain. That is how research is done.
