I hope you can appreciate that it would be hard for the average person looking in here to see that there's $39 million, then $21.8 million, and then $15 million that's not properly accounted for. There's a contractor who's financing these delayed appropriations. There were meetings during which no notes were taken. In fact, if we had those notes today, we would most likely be able to establish a premise about what went on, because we have differing views from people who attended that meeting.
As the leader of the department, when this eventuality came up, why didn't you consult directly on this particular issue with the Auditor General's office?
