I have nothing further to add but I want to clarify a point. Reference was made to a number of documents, and the committee has full access to them. Senator Higgins made a point regarding the witnesses' submission to the Pathfinder report. That is a document we do not have sight of and they might like to make it available to the committee.

If the witnesses wish to respond to the other documents they have requested from us, it is important that they do so in a timely way to ensure that it can be part of the discussion. Reference was made to the service level agreement. We have sight of it. I do not want the witnesses to think that because they have not spelled out what is in the document, the committee is not aware of it. We have those documents and we have the full picture from that point of view. If the witnesses' answers were not as complete as they would have wished, that is not an issue because we have those documents. Who would like to respond to Senator Higgins's questions?
