Without getting bogged down on this point, perhaps the committee could write to the other Department seeking clarification. I am not trying to cut across the witness's area of responsibility, but when a previous committee dealt with this matter in 2015 officials from that Department may have come before it. I am open to question in that regard but I believe that was the case at the time. Perhaps we will have to review that situation or revisit that area.
