That is fine. As far as I recall, Mr. Waters in his opening statement acknowledged direct provision is not a perfect system, and we are all aware of this. It is difficult to know what the alternative to it is. I am very concerned about the basic tenets of entitlement for people looking for assistance from our country, such as shelter, safety, food and education. I note that some of the measures with regard to fire safety have not been done. Is that correct?
