The issue of subsidiaries is in the report. Many of them are audited. Through the delegates or the Office of the Comptroller and Auditor General, can a full list of subsidiaries, a list of every one of the third level institutions, be sent to us along with the last dates of audit? I do not know whether subsidiaries are audited by the Office of the Comptroller and Auditor General or whether some are audited externally. What was the name of the public auditor if it was not the Comptroller and Auditor General? I am always concerned that some subsidiary has run amok and that we will hear about it in two years. I would like to know that. We are hearing today about occurrences a few years ago. There is obviously something occurring this year that we will not hear about for two more years. I would like to know about such issues at this stage.
