Let us be a little realistic in this regard. We are here to reassure ourselves about the value for money on all projects. If one stands out as questionable on governance issues, we are looking for reassurance not just in words, but in actual written form as to how that will not happen with other projects. That is the first point. The second is that a comment was made about a mob. That took two or three minutes of people's speaking time to clarify as well. Let us just put this in a realistic framework. I support the Chairman totally as to what should be discussed at the meeting. It must be done within a realistic framework.
