David Norris: As always I listened with interest and respect to my colleague, citizen Mansergh. He is perfectly right that historical files are never destroyed.

David Norris: I agree with Senators Scanlon and Brian Hayes. I raised this issue some six weeks ago after it was brought to my attention by people in St. Raphael's.

We have heard about the market, entering the field...
