In fairness, the Commissioner made us aware of that. However, the strange thing is that if the Commissioner acted promptly and wanted the Department involved, why was it that the Department was not made aware of the committee until 6 October? That is from 27 July to 6 October. Second, the Department nominated someone for it on 10 November. If this was such an urgent issue and the Commissioner acted promptly, why was there such a gap between 27 July and 5 November?
