In his concluding remarks, Mr. McKeon said there is a small amount of fraud in the system. He acknowledges that. My point is that in accounting terms and in the substance of where fraud is dealt with, it is dealt with in the context of error as well. The figures are the overall ones and they are not separated. Mr. McKeon should be conscious of that for obvious reasons.
