My interpretation of the unwinding is the restoration of the payments associated with FEMPI. We discussed those at length in this committee and in other committees, and in the House. I am sure my colleagues will follow it up, but it might be better to invite a delegation from the Department before the committee. It need not be a long meeting. Half an hour would do it. It will be either "Yes" or "No"; it will either work or it will not work. The commitment has been given in good faith and taken in good faith. For that reason, we should make an incisive intervention.
