We will hold that. We will send a letter to NAMA within 24 hours asking for a paragraph-by-paragraph response, whether confirmation or disagreement. That is the PIMCO letter dealt with for today. We will come back to it.

As I mentioned a short while ago, we are joined by Mr. Seamus McCarthy to give evidence to the committee today. We are also joined by Mr. John Riordan, director of audit at the Comptroller and Auditor General's office. I will ask Mr. McCarthy to make his comments and then we will have some questions and answers. The reason he is here is to respond to the various items of evidence brought before the committee today. I ask members not to ask Mr. McCarthy his opinion on why other people did certain things. If we have questions for other people, we will ask them directly rather than ask people to speculate about other people. This is in an effort to keep the discussion focused.
