The bottom line is that concerns were raised with the Department regarding the operation of this unit. They were serious concerns from multiple people, including me. I tabled 25 parliamentary questions. It is now the subject of a section 41 notification. The concerns are real. Perhaps it is not extraordinary in light of what we know about the Department. However, it would be extraordinary to think that the Department did not act once in respect of these concerns.
