Again, Mr. Speaker, I'm not sure where the Member is getting his misinformation, but Answerthink was asked on two specific occasions just before the go live date, "Are you confident that this system will run? Has it run in tests? Will it actually perform as it's expected to run or should we wait until September?" On two separate occasions the Answerthink officials said, "No problem, this is going to work, we've run it in tests, we know that it works perfectly, we will see that it will run without any problems." So, Mr. Speaker, the question was put to the company. The contractor said that they had a product that was going to work without any problems, that they had seen it work in tests and that it would work; but when it went live, clearly, it didn't. So, Mr. Speaker, again, it comes back to Answerthink as having given the department the wrong information. Thank you.
