In terms of what I am asking the witnesses from the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform - I wonder if we should have representatives of the Department of Finance here - if three quarters of the projects in hand are not PPP projects - the witness has said the role of the Department is to advice on policy issues regarding the PPP aspect of the work of the National Development Finance Agency which forms only a minority jpart of its work - what is the role of the Department of Public Expenditure and Reform in regard to the agency? We could have done with representatives of the Department of Finance being here also. I am simply making an observation.
