At the outset, I mentioned that you had been critical in your report of the serious lack of transparency. With respect to contracts, I think the government is guilty of the same lack of transparency. I believe it is important for the Auditor to conduct an audit, since the government has made some commitments and there have been significant spinoffs. We are a little in the dark when it comes to the billions of dollars that have been committed.
