We had the whole discussion around the NDP. I do not want to misquote the Minister, but the general notion he sold was a Darwinian system of who could get through planning, in relation to what gets sorted. We obviously have a problem in planning. There is a planning review at this point in time. The Department is eventually going to come up with a strategic assessment regarding NIFTI, but I am looking for Mr. Spratt's current view of the planning process when we are talking about major infrastructural projects and all the rest, and as I said, especially around the discussion of the NDP. I am not going to get into the ins and outs of the politics of it.
