No, it is not hypothetical. I have read the whole annual account. I have looked at it. There are systems in place. How was someone not alerted at some level in all of these? There is a risk assessment committee, there is a directorate that Mr. O'Brien reports to, and Mr. O'Brien also reports to the Minister. In answer to a previous question I asked him, Mr. O'Brien said he was informed early in 2016 in a memo he was given, and he was going to give the committee a copy of that.
