We have asked repeatedly in this committee—Mr. Weir asked repeatedly—if we could not have delayed, and we were getting “no, no, no”, that we had to go ahead. It's pretty clear in the Gartner report, which said yes, apart from reputation, we can delay a second time, and it identifies that you had better have these contingency plans addressing the exact same thing that the minister has been going on about on the staffing issues. Right in here, it said to be prepared for it, that they could not find the plans, and yet we still went ahead. I have to ask why.
