Since the report, a number of things have happened. Since the previous time Mr. O'Brien was before the committee, we were expecting the report to be issued imminently. We then had a meeting in private session with the whistleblower, and then there was a High Court case, which came as a bit of a surprise to some of us. I do not think that was referred to at the particular meeting in February or March, but the High Court case was heard within days of that meeting. I want to refer to the High Court case. Would it have been a disadvantage to have the Deloitte report issued in advance of that case?
