Mr. Kissane makes a very valid point with regard to the number of homes that have been lost. This committee was informed, through various presentations from the lenders, that approximately 100 homes were lost that should not have been lost as a result of the tracker mortgage scandal. Mr. Kissane makes the point that we are looking at the wrong information and that we should also be looking at voluntary surrender figures, trading down figures and so forth. If we were to take all of those into account, does Mr. Kissane have any idea of the numbers who had to hand over the keys of their house as a result of this scandal?
