Chair, no, we noted that the department is committed to addressing the issues we have raised. We certainly had excellent cooperation from the department all through the audit, and we obviously discussed the recommendations with them to make sure they would be doable. What is missing—these are just very short responses that we put in—is the more detailed plan as to how the department will actually do this and over what time period. Some mention time periods, but most do not. We think it's important that the department establish for itself how long it will take to actually address some of these issues and that they be realistic about that. Some may take several years to do.
