All I can say is that there was a large number of views and analysis done, much of it by fairly junior ranking officers. There were thousands of briefing notes and e-mails, and so on. The committee that I chair weekly did not bring diverging views of analysis to me and to General Tremblay from the army staff and the senior officer of CEFCOM to say there should be some other solution halfway through or a different way to go on the LAV RWS. It was a volatile period. People had their views and sometimes expressed them strongly. Obviously that's all on the record. We had to look at all of those, and fairly, I think, the Office of the Auditor General did look at all of those views.
