Committee of Inquiry into the Banking Crisis

Nexus Phase

Mr. Richie Boucher:

So, it was a well-trusted mechanism of generating capital and you were dealing with, shall we say, consenting adults. You're dealing with bondholders on a voluntary basis. I was surprised that this decision had been taken to incorporate it and I did have a discussion with a couple of colleagues and I said, "I don't know if this actually suits us as a bank."
