I appreciate that. I am working from the Comptroller and Auditor General's figures. I know there are more up-to-date figures, but I did my calculations on this. Those 15,731 represent the five different groups - people unemployed for up to 12 months, between one year and two years, etc. There are five categories. That would encompass all five of those categories. I do not need to get details now; they can be passed on to the secretariat because we are up against time. Do we have a further breakdown of the 15,731 across the five categories? Does the Department follow through on each of the various stages? In other words, do we have a breakdown of those 4,384 people who have reached one year in continuous employment by each group?
