To this date, the results of those investigations have not been given to that person. There is a cost factor involved in respect of legal representation which continues to mount. Mr. O'Brien specifically raised this issue in his opening remarks and went into some detail about it and yet, because we are the Committee of Public Accounts, he did not see fit to bring that figure here although he might be asked about it. That is what we are doing here. This is totally secondary to how these 30 to 40 individuals were treated, but it is the work of this committee and it is important that we know the answer to that. The information should have been brought to us today-----
