Well, we have. We are questioning the IFPA, we are in the course of asking questions of them. I also want to say that the witness or his colleague stated earlier that the women who attended undercover were not pregnant. However, I want to clarify that some of them had attended earlier when they were pregnant and they got that advice; that was why they were so concerned and went back to do the undercover. The witness also said that it was completely underhand and, I do not know what word was used to describe it, but I am saying that the witnesses have carried out the same kind of covert questioning themselves so they cannot have standards for one and not for the other. Just to clarify-----
