Mr. Paddy Howard:
No. I do not think we would accept that there is a difference, in terms of the regulatory framework, that faces people in that situation. As I explained earlier, when a Senator talked about insolvency law, it is not that we are disapplying the protections that exist in other policy areas. What we are doing is we are taking an approach to public procurement, which is how we manage the public interest in respect of the contracts that are going out.
