Mr. Robert Watt:
In multiple ways, but I do not really wish to discuss a matter that we will ultimately have to resolve. It is very impactful. Obviously, we are not in a position to answer parliamentary questions. We are not in a position to gather information on the foot of requests from Members of this House, which we find unsatisfactory. We do not have up-to-date expenditure data, and Mr. Mulvany touched on that earlier. That is very unsatisfactory. We do not have the basic management information tools we need to do our job. It is very disruptive, but I do not really want to get into the ins and outs.
