Mr. David Corrigan:
I cannot point to a specific line. I know our legal advice, and the advice of the assigned certifier who has the statutory obligation to sign the certificates, namely that this alternative approach, if it is needed, is a valid and viable approach. It also has to be validated by the building control authority. We do not see a situation where there is any circumventing of the rules, or the statutory process. There have been no shortcuts. There can be no shortcuts because it ends up with the building control authority validation. We have been very clear with DIF that this has to be done properly. It has to do it properly, by law.
