I thank the Ms Stack. Before I move off this topic, I note that it is also our experience that one has to go with Turas Nua or Seetec. One does not have a choice. Mr. McKeon indicates that there is a choice, as do replies to parliamentary questions. We are being told that one simply does not have a choice. If a person is called by either of these organisations, they have to take up the offer. They cannot go on anything. Again, I am not going to waste my time because the witnesses have told me that this is not true or accurate. However, that has been our experience.
