Mr. Chairman, the problem that I was faced with when we began to move over there was should the people on the ground over there have some management control, or should it be all directed and the strings all pulled from Yellowknife. I made the decision it would be better if the people were controlling it on the ground over in Spain, because of the time difference, because of the difficulty in communication, so on and so forth. Yes, there were financial decisions being made here, largely as a result of a requirement that would be anticipated for Seville or something they had order, or had faxed over and said we would like to have this. I think there was maybe some misunderstanding. The people in Yellowknife might have thought they did not have to report to Seville, that it should be the other way around. Yet, of course, we find out there was some information that the finance person on the ground in Seville did require. So, did we give it a priority? The priority was to support them over there, Mr. Chairman, and perhaps we were a little lax in supporting them with financial data in some cases. Thank you.
