Thank you very much for coming here today.
I am a visitor to this committee, so I don't have the history, but a number of things come to mind with it.
First of all, I'm really troubled by the discrepancy between your figures, Mr. Marshall, and your figures, Mr. Sloan, in terms of what the actual costs were to the crown. Mr. Marshall, you made a case for saying that with all of your calculations, you believed that moneys were not expended. Mr. Sloan, you came in and said it was a $2.5 million cost to the crown. How do we reconcile this? What are the processes of government that square this circle that just doesn't seem to fit?
