Mr MARTIN —Mr Speaker, thank you very much for that very comprehensive review. We are all quite relieved to hear your comments there. In respect of how this information did find its way into the public domain, I wonder whether or not the auditors may have had responsibility for that and whether some inquiries might be made and you could report back to the House.


Mr SPEAKER —We will certainly make some formal inquiries, but I do not have any problem with individual members taking up this situation with the auditors themselves. This is an area of concern to me but, as I say, I am at arm's length of the process. The release, either formally or informally, of this information by KPMG to the media is something totally out of my control.
