I thank the witnesses. Listening from my office earlier, I began to think there was some competition for headlines today. I was in shock about what I heard, the unusual nature of the opening statement we received and the one that was heard this morning in the committee room. I appreciate Mr. O'Loughlin attending today. It probably would have been easier for him to cancel and reschedule, so from that perspective I appreciate his attendance, given everything that seems to have unfolded yesterday. In saying that, I take account of what he has said in response to the many questions asked by colleagues. How many people work in the financial department of IHRB?
