Madam Chair, on behalf of the city representatives I would just say that we are happy to be able to respond to your request to be here today. We will answer the questions that are posed to us to the best of our ability, the only exception or issue being what you raised at the outset, which is that there may be some questions that I will need to consult with counsel on vis-à-vis how those questions may or may not affect the city's interest in terms of responding to the legal claim we're currently responding to. But other than that, we are here to do our utmost to answer the questions to the best of our ability.
On February 26th, 2008. See this statement in context.
