When I was appointed interim commissioner, I always used the analogy of how the house was on fire so I focused on extinguishing the fire. I didn't think much about the world and the neighbourhood and so on. If I am appointed in a permanent fashion.... There was some work done at the international level by my predecessor. I will read these files because I will have time to devote to it. I didn't in the first 12 months.
