Mr. Seamus McCarthy:

Some of that I will have to reflect on as well. We did try in the report. In Chapter 25, we give the number of cases that were published each year from 2008 to 2012, inclusive, and the total yield figure is given there as well. We specifically note that the yield amounts are based on settlements and do not represent amounts collected.
