Thank you for the question.
I'm just looking here at the findings of Ms. Brooks. I think she actually spoke on this point.
She said:
The review found that each of the audit files appears to have been carefully completed by diligent staff and that the practices used in pursuing the KPMG case were compliant with established CRA policies and procedures.
Now to your point, sir, Ms. Brooks continued:
While senior management was appropriately consulted and briefed, decisions were made by the CRA team assigned with carriage of the file, with due consultation with the Department of Justice. While vigorous discussion about approaches to a file would not necessarily be problematic, there was no evidence of disagreement within the Agency on actions taken.
