I see the net figure but I do not see it broken up between fraud and error. Mr. McKeon's opening statement is important. He has dealt with chapter 16 of the Comptroller and Auditor General's report. Every time he spoke about fraud, he referred to error. With respect, today, he did not give any distinction between fraud and error. Nowhere in his opening statement did he give that distinction or the breakdown. I have had to tease those figures out. We now know the majority of the moneys which should not have been paid were paid in error while the minority was fraud.
