I understand where you are coming from, but I also think, next to the facts that you just expounded, there is this broad issue of culture, and I don't think the culture in this particular lab and in large parts of the public service had caught up with the change in facts as we understand China. I agree that there was no sea change. There was no button pushed that changed things, and I think if you're working in the bottoms of a department or of an agency, it takes a while to register these things.
I'd be interested in knowing, for example, if the deputy head or her delegate had caused a note to be sent to the departmental security officer, simply saying, “I'm told by CSIS and everybody else that times have changed.” I'm not trying to excuse what happened, I'm just saying that there's a lot of blame to go around, and it's both public service and political blame.
