The information presented in the public accounts includes a history of the losses as well as recoveries against those losses during the fiscal year. That is why the information is presented in this manner. There are a number of ongoing legal proceedings related to the sponsorship file that will, in the end, determine the final amount recovered. Until that is finally known, you will continue to see this accounting provided here in what we hope is a transparent manner.
