No, I was not. The Senator asked if he could interrupt me for a second. I will complete my points. The Senator raised three matters and I am on the second. Let us leave the third-party issue for a second - that is the third issue, which I will come to in a moment. The Senator mentioned the exchange. He specifically said that while he understood that the exchange from the OPC - or the advisory counsel, presumably, or both - to the Department had legal professional privilege, he did not accept that the exchange back had legal professional privilege. Does he now accept that?
