Yes. The important thing, and the witnesses have answered the question, is this narrows down to one airport and, conceivably, one tender and that is that. Moreover, I believe this will be the case. Respectfully, I believe the witnesses should gear their minds towards that eventuality, as opposed to fighting it. That really is the situation towards which we are heading and the Government must accept it. This is important and this entire affair has taught us we must be realistic with regard to the service under discussion and should just deal with it and make a decision. Is that fair enough?
