Thanks very much, Mr. Chairman.
Thank you, witnesses, for coming. I think you probably are aware that after we hear from other witnesses, we may seek to have you come back and talk to us again, because we want to hear what they have to say as well, obviously, and whether any of it is contradictory.
Your minister yesterday said that public servants are responsible for this whole process and there's no political interference. So which of you is to blame for this? You've been sent here to be the shield, I guess.
