Thanks very much, Chair.
To pick up where I left off and to give the deputy an opportunity to respond, as you can see, in my opinion, the remarks were getting at the heart of the report and whether you're serious about making changes. To me, your remarks, Deputy, through you, Chair, at best are an unintended false positive impression. They've left that. At worst, they were a deliberate attempt to spin this committee, in which case I would worry about the seriousness of the commitment to make change.
Deputy, I now give you an opportunity to defend yourself and your remarks and anything else that you wish to say.
