If you were having any discussions with the minister or his staff, this was very high profile. The minister stated on the day of the transfer that he was shocked and dismayed that this had taken place, so I'm surprised that there was no discussion or that you weren't surprised that nothing was being brought up to you. This was probably one of the most high-profile transfers.
You mentioned 41 years. That's a long career, and thank you for that, but this must be one of the largest high-profile transfers ever to take place, and there were no direct discussions between you and the minister regarding it. Is that correct?
