Public Accounts committee  No. Frankly, there wouldn't have been any time. The letter he sent to me is dated April 15. Assuming that I took a few days to look at it and then gave it to the staff, it would have been some time in late April, and by the end of May I wasn't there. So that letter wouldn't have been responded to.

Public Accounts committee  Thank you, Mr. Chairman, for inviting me to appear before you today. As the members all know, I was one of you, so to speak, for many years. I sat in the cabinet for seven and a half years, including a period of approximately four and a half months as Minister of Public Works, specifically between January 15, 2002, and the end of May.
