We would be worried if there was no mechanism in place. I understand that the Department cannot estimate the third party costs until some of the figures come in, but there are daily rates and legal costs. In advance of this afternoon's session, will the witness indicate who sets the daily rate or who agrees the hourly rate on behalf of the State? Is the Department involved in that?
