Well, Mr. Chair, a lot would depend on the scope of the internal audit at the time. It is my impression that the internal audit was very much focused on the management of those contribution agreements and perhaps didn't step back to say who had been.... It didn't identify the conflict of interest but, as the deputy mentioned, was much more focused on the management framework and how these programs were being managed. I think the scope was quite narrow and quite specific, and that's what their recommendations dealt with.
