Madam Chair, again, this is a layman's explanation of the process, but the minutes of settlement, which is what you're referring to, were part of ongoing discussions between the young woman's lawyer and our lawyer, Mr. Winton, who's to my right. Those were agreed to by both parties. Both parties are experienced, including the young woman's lawyer. I stand to be corrected, but I don't think she would have been prevented from speaking to police.
