Mr. Watt's opening statement does not even reference the national children's hospital, which is bizarre, given that it is the largest capital project in the history of the State. It will be the most costly and has one of the largest overruns so I do not get how Mr. Watt does not even reference it. It is like there is a determination not to discuss it today with the Committee of Public Accounts. It is my belief that Mr. Watt did not want Mr. Quinn to appear before the committee because of the awkward questions that would have been asked of him. Mr. Watt can correct me if I am wrong.
