I thank Mr. Smyth and I might turn to Mr. Keown. In answering my previous question, Mr. Smyth mentioned that the Government believed this was the more defensible way to move forward. While it may say that decision is based on legal advice, is this more of a political decision to go this way? Is it something that the political division of the Department of foreign affairs has fed into in that regard?
