(16 Jan 2014)

John McGuinness: When that happens, people in business generally examine their costs and what is being spent, and they begin to cut back around the margins of those expenses that are not required and should not continue.

John McGuinness: No, it will have to be put to CRC Medical Devices and the CRC staff who received payments from that Visa card. I want to know the extent of it and what the payments were for. Was it for entertainment, travel, or what?

John McGuinness: I do not know. I only know that a Visa card account exists in the name of CRC Medical Devices and the names mentioned have been on statements relative to it. I wonder why they would receive payments from a completely separate company on a Visa card.

John McGuinness: I have an open mind on this. We are listening to evidence and we have yet to come to a conclusion. In view of Friends of CRC and the separate business of CRC itself and the account we are now examining, the members here have asked for the board to come before this committee again because we have not finished. I consider this a work in progress. Will Mr. Conlan make himself available to...
