Mr. Mark Griffin:

Yes, but there would have to be a procurement process, which costs money. We made an assessment in which we examined the state of the market, anticipated what would happen in the future period and what the market would look like and what the likely benefits to the State would be in extending versus re-tendering. The clear assessment was that in all circumstances it would be more beneficial to the State to extend the contracts.
