Minister, I'm just trying to square up your comment that the government hasn't withheld information. Several minutes ago I asked you if you could give us the unconfirmed number. You said you couldn't. Senator Ruston gave you a number, and you immediately said that you could confirm that that was the number. I'm trying to understand why you couldn't give me that number when, clearly, you have it.
