I concur with my colleague, Deputy Cullinane. We should have him back before the committee. This matter would be much simpler if people simply co-operated with the committee, but there are a number of outstanding issues on which we need clarity from him. We need him to put those on the record. It should not be a long meeting if he comes before the committee in the right frame of mind. Specifically, I endorse the point Deputy Cullinane made about future hearings of the committee. People coming before us need to understand that if they mislead the committee, whether by accident or design, and if they are invited back to correct the record, they do not come in and for a second time sow confusion.
