I welcome Mr. O'Brien and his colleague. In the opening statement supplied to the committee, Mr. O'Brien included an important paragraph that is a response he read into the record of this committee that came from Deloitte. It is:

It was not in our TOR to conclude as to whether the shortfall in the funding for Grace was effectively an additional cut in funding to the body or deliberately done because of the whistleblowing, this is a matter for the Commission of Investigation.

I am assuming Mr. O'Brien agrees with that.
