I did not say that, so please do not put words in my mouth. I said the plan was not to inform all women. There was a plan put in place to inform some women. Listen to what I am saying. What I said earlier was that the strategy was to reduce the volume of women who would know. It is very clear when the plan said to decide on the order and volume of dispatch to mitigate any potential risks. We are intelligent enough to know what happened. There was a concern that were hundreds of women and if they were all informed at the same time, it would get out so a containment plan should be put in place and the Minister should not be informed. The Minister was not informed. That is the point I am making, and Mr. Breslin knows it.
