The letter to us is really contemptuous. I say that reluctantly. It is very important that we get accountability. Departmental officials will be before us today. We should have representatives from the board of the Peter McVerry Trust before us today, but we do not. Its accounts are also due. It would be opportune to go back to the trust to ask what the status of its 2023 accounts is, which are very late now. This is 2025. What is the status of its 2024 accounts? They are nowhere if the 2023 accounts are not ready. The board should come before us when those accounts are ready.
