In order to establish a fairly objective base, we simply compared the information the committee received with what it requested. That reflects some of what we had begun to discuss in terms of comparing our estimates of the costs of justice legislation with those of the government, for example. Without having its methodologies or assumptions, it becomes almost impossible to correlate the figures. For parliamentarians, it's very different and it becomes extremely difficult to understand the sensitivity of certain estimates and factors. So, it's very important to have all the information that was requested by the committee.
