Mr. Francis O'Donnell:

It was agreed at that time by the chairperson and the head of HR. The Comptroller and Auditor General pointed out clearly that it should have gone to a full board decision. It was done with the best of intent. There was no malice intended, and it was done for the right reasons. As soon as it was pointed out by the Comptroller and Auditor General I took corrective action on that. I accept that.
