I am just saying that this idea of getting references from people who employed the contractor previously is normal. Perhaps that Department was caught out in that it did not follow the process through, but this had been a standard feature to allow people through the pre-qualification process. We did not seem to get an accurate understanding of that practice. Does the Comptroller and Auditor General wish to comment? I know the case I am talking about.
