In fact, to the best of my knowledge, I was not even aware that he was applying for the position. I cannot remember exactly, but I remember I was quite surprised at the time. So, I had no knowledge. I had no discussions about that prior to his appointment, and I have certainly had no discussions about his appointment, other than to be informed that he had been appointed and what his new role would be.</text>
