Okay, fine. Dr. Love is kidding me. This is a rapid-fire round, but this is just wrong. I am sorry but that is my opinion. It is not a reflection on the witnesses individually. Can I just say how wrong I think this is? The HEA is going to have to start over in respect of CIT and do it all over again. That is my belief.

I am stuck for time so I will move on. As this is a rapid-fire round, I would appreciate it if the witnesses would write to us because they are not going to get to answer all of the questions. I have to give a fair time to answer. The amounts for professional fees, travel and subsistence are very high. Can the witnesses provide a spreadsheet for the past five years on the amounts of money involved and set out why they were so high? On the document that was sent in, how could a document redacted to that extent have been accepted? How does one know what is behind the blacked-out portions?
