Honestly, I understand; we all make mistakes. The gallery does a very good job. It is about learning. We are here every week and I am back on the committee, fortunately or unfortunately, in regard to processes. We recently had the national children's hospital before us. We will be coming to the Department. I am not here to go at the witnesses. I do not need any more apologies. We all make mistakes. I am here to see what happened and how we can avoid it in the future. Last week the question of whether a person underwent media training was asked. I am not going to ask that. However, I am tired of the responses that try to please us. It is simply to learn. If we had private companies here, I am sure they would be far worse. Let me say that openly.

Let us go back to this machine. When the business case was done, it said buy this machine and this room will be okay. It turned out that room was not okay.
