No. I was never part of any meeting. Everything was done through counsel, and I have to say that I was very surprised. I sincerely thought I could continue to make a contribution, like I had done in my 28 years. Sir, I've never...this is part of who I am. It is also part of every member of the team that has worked with me, the majority of whom worked for between a year and three years, as opposed to a handful of discontented employees who worked merely a few weeks or a few months. And that happens. It was to be expected.
So, sir, when I accepted that job, just like I accepted any position across the government...I have always been known to be fair, to do what is right. I was told that I had a 100% batting average in the quality of my advice. I spoke truth to power, and I spoke truth to parliamentarians when I appeared before you.
