I want to reiterate what Deputy Collins said. It would have been very useful and helpful today if we had been informed of what was written into the original process when it came to the review. I assume there is factual information. I cannot understand why that could not have been presented to the committee today as part of an appendix or whatever. To me, it lays down the precedence of what reviews took place before and what the rationale was for the roll-over. From that, we could draw our own conclusions on the lack of interaction we had today and maybe highlight some of the conclusions that could be arrived at or rebutted. We are operating in a complete vacuum. That factual information should have been presented today.
