I know Mr. Watt has much experience in public expenditure in the area of procurement. I am interested in getting a bit of insight from him on it. It is all well and good to talk about the initial contract being awarded. What safeguards will be placed in the contracts to analyse and go through them in detail whereby, for example, one year into a multi-year build, which many of these types of projects are, it can be said that serious issues are very clearly arising and come up with some type of resolution process with the contractor or contractors that will be appointed for those building projects?
