We met several people, to be sure. However, as I said at the beginning, I spoke about the accountability framework, about the importance of and requirements involved in consultation. I said it more than once and I will repeat it again: we were not consulted about the cuts that were made. That is why, when I asked earlier what you ought to be in your report, I said that there were certainly areas for improvement, but that meeting obligations struck us as something essential.
