Mr President, I ask a further supplementary question. In July 2002, there were 1,828 arrivals; in August, 1,969 arrivals; in September, 2,355 arrivals; in October, 2,227; and in the first three weeks of November, 1,767 arrivals. Does the government stand-by its estimate of 450 arrivals per month or does it now concede that that estimate is grossly flawed?
