They were with the committee on 12 October. You received the details in writing. You actually received the documents. We have requested them, and I want to see them as well. You have all of that documentation since before Christmas. Why did it take a public outcry arising from the revelations at this committee on 14 February for you to start asking questions about it? Would you not accept that the information was there within the Department among your officials? They either did not give it to you or you did not see it. That information was there.
