Mr. Beausang, I'm going to pull this back because you're going into a lot of process. The fundamental question here that Senator D'Arcy asked you is that there was a 30% year-on-year growth in the banks in this country. There was, by any modest examination, quite a significant growth in the banking sector in this country and is your testimony to this inquiry today that you and your Department were not aware of that?
