Thank you.
This is a question directed to both Dr. Hamm and Ms. Wilson.
I'm left with a very difficult situation as a member of this committee. We heard from three members of the board who felt compelled to actually send letters of resignation and who painted an entirely different picture of the board, which I might call the ailing institution, as it was presented to us.
I hear from you, Dr. Hamm and Ms. Wilson, and I have absolutely no reason to not believe you, but you paint a picture of a board, as do your other two board members, as if everything was normal, and it was functioning, and you'll be able to meet the mandate, and there have never been real problems.
As a board member...I'm compelled to simply say I don't want to be the judge. I actually want to have someone independent inquire into what has transpired for those three members to feel compelled enough to come and give us a story that's absolutely at variance with the story that's been presented in the panel now.
So what do you suggest? Do we require an independent inquiry, or do you think you'll be fine?
