I share the sentiments offered by everyone today and thank the witnesses for taking the time to be here. I wish them considered good luck into the future in their endeavours in the trust.

I will pick up on a comment Mr. Kelly has just made. He said the Department was first made aware of financial issues in the trust in July 2023. In the C and AG's chapter on this issue, he states the Department was made aware of financial irregularities in late 2022 and that it instructed DRHE to conduct an internal review. Am I misinterpreting that?
