I acknowledge that we have been given a large amount of information. I printed it off last night, but I have not been able to read it all. I have glanced at it. It would have been helpful had we received a submission and then had this to use as reference to the context. I do not know whether it is possible now or whether we can have time to absorb what is here. We are starting off with evidence, and I take it in good faith. It is a serious allegation and is in direct conflict with what we heard two hours ago. We are not expert enough to know who is right and who is wrong here. My experience in life is that no one is 100% right. The IAA and the commissioner were challenged about certain things that they said. It is very difficult to have absorbed this without a presentation. I am not sure whether the witness is available in a week or a few days, but there needs to be a better structure put on this.
