I have two concerns: getting proper supplies to our soldiers, and minimizing corruption in the war zone. These are the two things that I think are fundamentally important. Yes, there are losses and slippage and shrinkage of inventory. But even retail stores here in Canada have shrinkage in inventory. We're not that concerned about the $7 million in inventory, provided that it's not going into the hands of the other side. I need to get your assurance that everything is being done to ensure that this isn't happening.
