I would appreciate if Mr. Quinn could get back to me on that. It has been a long meeting so I would like to raise two other things and make a suggestion if that is okay. There was a concern raised by some businesses, which know their onions, as they say, because this is the area in which they have been operating for a long time, in some cases for generations, about health and safety standards and proper standards for the stationery and equipment within the tender process. Can Mr. Quinn say something about that? I am saying this as a parent as much as anything else. A parent wants to know if pencils or crayons that children are using are up to scratch and fully comply with safety standards.

The second issue is related to concerns about predatory pricing by bigger players which, by virtue of this new regime, move into the market and engage in predatory pricing. There is a sense that there are insufficient checks and balances around all that, or a lack of consideration in the process.
