We are back in public session and we are continuing our discussion with the Comptroller and Auditor General regarding his special report on Project Eagle. We are discussing clarifications on matters raised during previous meetings and I ask members to be brief. My plan is to finish with the Comptroller and Auditor General as soon as possible. We have to take a 30-minute break for lunch and then we will have Department of Finance officials before us. I understand weekly divisions are to be taken in the House at 3.30 p.m., which is when we will adjourn, no matter what time we resume following lunch. We cannot be expected to return at 4.30 p.m. following the divisions. We must be concise. The Department of Finance was one stop removed from the transaction and was not directly involved with it. Members should be conscious of that.
