That is a separate question. I imagine that the thinking behind including the line that 90% went back to communities was to ensure that people felt that the national lottery was a positive thing. Clearly, however, that advertisement has backfired in a massive way, given the level of speculation and the fact that the witnesses are before the Committee of Public Accounts discussing it. It is not a trick question. Does Mr. Algeo believe that the advertisement has backfired?
