Yes, the grant mentality means that people never drive at greater efficiency. The witnesses argue that they have done so and I do not doubt that. There is something about that whole grant mentality structure and I wonder whether tendering was brought in to try to find an alternative way around this, albeit that the tendering system has many flaws and the witnesses have highlighted some of them. Has that argument not come up?
