Mr. O'Sullivan, I get the feeling that part of the problem in naming a person is that you haven't been able to set your conditions, that you haven't been able to tell the person who is to be nominated, “Listen, we want to make sure you don't embarrass the government.” Is that part of the conditions and part of the delay by your department? If you look around the table, I think that's the feeling we're getting.
