Does Mr. Tattan not see how it is utterly unsatisfactory for his Department to come in here in this state of unpreparedness? How could anybody make a public appearance and answer the Comptroller and Auditor General''s report in public and say they have not even checked to know if there are minutes of meetings? I find it very difficult. Based on what we are hearing today, the witnesses' evidence will be inadequate. No matter how good or bad it is, it is inadequate before we start. Have the witnesses established if there were minutes?
