Okay. When we bring in witnesses before the committee, we always hear the negatives. I am sure there are some really good positive stories out there as well. I do not want to throw the baby out with the bathwater and say it is all negative as it is not. I know some well-operated English language schools are doing an absolutely fantastic job. I do not know any rogue ones but I have been made aware of some of them and of the differences between the approach they take and the way they treat their students. However, I presume the positives far outweigh the negatives. It is about getting at the negative side and trying to improve it. It is like any Department agency or anything like that. The negatives will always be there and trying to root them out is the big issue.
