I have tried very hard—and I hope I have succeeded—not to treat any concern raised by any member of this committee as trivial. I'm certainly not suggesting any concern is trivial. I have tried to be as accurate as I can about the involvement we have, and what we do, and what our role is in terms of advising the Prime Minister. If I have suggested in any way that this means I think anything you're saying is trivial, I apologize. That has never been my intent. I've only been focusing on what I do and my role.
