Note to reader:

This document has been reformatted for publication to make it consistent with the Inquiry Fact Finding Report. In that process, it has been necessary to recreate, only where necessary, some of the tables and graphics. As well, the pagination of this volume differs from that of the original report submitted to the Commission by Kroll, Lindquist Avey on May 18, 2005.

Every effort has been made to ensure accuracy of the data and graphics. Readers are advised, however, that diagrams and page references in the Commissioner's Fact Finding Report to the Kroll report and its appendices are to pages found in the original submission. That version should be considered to be the official version of the Kroll report.

The reader should note as well that Appendices A, I, J and K from the original Kroll report have not been reproduced in this document
