Public Accounts Committee

Special Report No. 94 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: National Asset Management Agency Sale of Project Eagle (Resumed)

10:00 am

Mr. Alan Stewart:

No. The use of the word "ostensibly", when the first call from PIMCO had only been received the day before, was perhaps an expression of the fact that we had only started an engagement with PIMCO and that we were still trying to develop and understand from where it was coming. Perhaps that is why the word "ostensibly" was used. However, I am speculating.
