Well, what I've tried to describe is what is done with regard to background checks, which is one input to prime ministers as they decide on cabinet formation. And it is for this government as it was for previous governments. I certainly didn't mean to suggest, when I said the opposition had not written to me or called me, that they were under an obligation to do so. That wasn't the import of my answer. If it was taken that way, that wasn't the way it was meant.
