I have a slightly different view. I would publish the report now but if there is a wisdom that we need to get permission to do it, it should be sought very quickly. If we get it we should publish the report because, to be honest, it is out there. Every media outlet has it. We need to stop messing around with this type of stuff. There is a damning report. We are waiting for another report that will cost ten times more than this one cost. This is a report that answers some of the questions. In my view it should be published in the public interest. Let us get that advice, if the Chairman believes we need it.

In all the minutes of the sub-committees, which we got also, reference was made to the joint finance and construction sub-committees and that cost overruns were identified in those sub-committees of sub-committees. That is the world we are in. Can we get the minutes of those meetings because we need to follow that through? If we are to get the witnesses in again, we do not need to hear, "There is another set of minutes over here" in which there may be more information.
