Although, Mr. Hennebry is accurate in terms of what he said, that is the impression. What the Chairman said was accurate because that is what they told us in the committee last week. Mr. Hennebry is also accurate because I have seen the role and regulation 3.5, which states very clearly that the role of the certifier is not to supervise the job. We have since heard a different line from the NDFA, which is that it will not use the independent certifier but will use new subcontractors to complete and certify Mr. Hennebry's work, which does not rectify the situation as that is still not allowed under the regulations.
