Mr. Tony O'Brien:

No. If somebody sets out on a course of action and the intention is to communicate results but he or she spends too much time figuring out how to do it or disagreeing about who should do it, that is one thing, but it is slightly different, in fact, fundamentally different, from a conscious decision not to communicate the results. What we have heard and seen in the past two weeks points to a failure to follow through on a decision to communicate, rather than an active decision not to communicate. That, of course, will also be looked at in the scoping review.
