Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, my question will start with the Minister. I gather from the information that we have been receiving in the House yesterday and today that this separation package, or termination package, followed a normal process, and that there was confidentiality involved in this contract, in that any release of the information of that contract may be subject to the Privacy Act provisions and so forth.
Also, I think we can establish from the facts, reading the Hansard and discussions, that it is the Minister's position that any release of that information requires notice to the third parties. First of all, I would just like to establish whether or not that is what the Minister has been saying. If he does not agree with those findings of fact.
