I will ask the witnesses to think about my next question over the break, although they might not have an answer. Mr. Daly stated: "According to the Comptroller and Auditor General report, this loss could have been avoided". Could any other formulation of that sentence take some of the heat out of the debate? I will ask the Comptroller and Auditor General after the break whether he could use another, but similar, formula of words in order to take the heat out of the debate and help us to draft a report. I am not asking him to change his report or Mr. Daly to change his opening statement, but both know that we have to write a report and it would be helpful if we achieved a consensus before then. We will write a report.
