Okay. I thank Mr. McHugh. I will finish with this. It is absolutely scandalous that we do not have legislation in place and have been operating in a system that is so exposed to risk, exposes public money and everything involved to risk. We need to have further discussions about this and the legislation needs to be expedited as quickly as possible. It is clear from today and from the information the committee has gathered that this is a serious issue. It is scandalous that the Government has been so uninterested in its implications heretofore.
