I will come back in again. I will finish with the medical devices company. I have some other questions to ask later but I will come back later. Is that okay? I have some important questions for later but I will leave them. I will finish this section on the CRC medical devices company.

Mr. Conlan came in. This company was a dog. It lost money every year. I cannot understand why it lost money because there were significant margins and its competitors seemed to be making money. According to research that I have done, at least 80% of its competitors were making money but this company did not. Mr. Conlan decided to sell it, which may have been a good decision. Mr. Conlan decided to do that early on. Why was there no tender?
